What We Do
Over 90% of the calls we respond to in a month are elderly related. We do more than just fight fires.
Volunteers Needed
No matter age or physical condition there is a spot for you. We are community driven.

Station 20 is the only station that is fully owned by the community and not by local government.
Get out quick, before the smoke gets thick!
