MEMBERSHIP:
The Unexcelled Fire Company welcomes you to our membership page. Becoming a firefighter is honorable and rewarding. As firefighters, it is our job to assist our neighbors, visitors and all people during their time of need.
We expect our members to bring something to the fire company – skills, enthusiasm, positive attitude, desire to be a part of a team.
Our primary job is to respond to fires and emergencies. In addition, we attend fire and rescue training drills, maintain our firehouse and fire trucks, hold fundraisers, and attend community events and support our town.

As a “NEW MEMBER”, it is your responsibility to be active, be alert, ask questions, observe and LEARN. Be assertive, be willing to help and get involved. Also, you are responsible to maintain an “active” percentage / attendance at fire calls.
DUTY CREW:
Obviously we want members to respond to all calls, but during the overnight hours, a duty crew ensures that we will be responding to all calls that we are dispatched on.
- Each member is responsible to be available two nights per week to respond to fire calls between 10pm and 6pm.
- You may choose which night(s) suite your schedule.
- If you need to switch a night or have someone cover your duty crew, it is your responsibility to find a replacement.
- Members are not required to stay overnight at the firehouse for duty crew.
TRAINING / DRILLS:
Attendance at drill is a very important part of membership. Drills are held on the third and fourth Monday of each month. In addition to the two “scheduled” drills, we may hold additional training drills.
