The Draper Volunteer Fire Department needs volunteers!
We have a newer modern engine (pumper), a DNR brush truck that is now in service for fighting grass, brush and forest fires, and a new-to-us water tender that holds 1750 gallons. We work with the USFS, DNR and other municipal departments in Sawyer County under a Mutual Aid Agreement- this helps spread resources around the county, where rural volunteers are hard to come by.
We appreciate your support and donations. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact one of the DFD members you know. You can drive emergency vehicles, carry equipment, direct traffic, and just help out at fire scenes without having to climb ladders or enter a burning structure- some training requirements are simple to obtain. Anyone who wishes to volunteer is welcome!
We have a beautiful large white tent available for public use - we will help you load it and set it up - donations appreciated.
(Please return clean and dry)
Contact the Fire Hall to reserve it for your next outdoor function!
