The Town of Preble owns 6 fire trucks, 2 buildings, and a boat
for water rescue. The Department handles approximately 170 calls in
a calendar year with 80 percent being EMS medical calls. The rest
are a mixture of calls ranging from fires, motor vehicle accidents,
alarms, mutual aide, wires/trees down and more.
The
Department is always looking for new members, as the need for
volunteers is constant. The initial training takes several hours and
is very taxing to the body. The result is the ability to help your
family, friends and neighbors in times of need. Anyone wishing to
inquire about membership may contact any firefighter, speak to a
department officer or come to the Fire Station and introduce himself
or herself any Monday night at 7pm.
The Department
appreciates the generous support of the community during their
annual calendar drive, chicken barbeques, pancake breakfasts, and
throughout the year.
