We presently have 18 members who are dedicated to making our community a safer place to live. We recently acquired a 4400 gal tender which greatly increases our water hauling capacity. With the addition of our brand new Engine last year we now have four awesome trucks that will serve this community for years to come.

We have a great team of volunteers and are proud to serve the community of Big Lake.
