Briaroaks Fire Department
Make A Donation
The operating budget covers the bare minimum of what it costs to run a professional, efficient fire department and rescue squad. Our members do not receive any financial reimbursement for the time they donate for training, equipment and truck maintenance or responding to emergency calls. All of the operating budget is spent on the basics to run the department, such as fuel costs, electric and phone costs, equipment maintenance, personal protective equipment etc. Briaroaks Fire Department is a 501(c)(3) organization, which means your donations are tax deductible. We will send you a thank you with the deduction information for all donations.
You Have Less Than 3 Minutes
In a modern home fire, you may have less than 3 minutes to escape once the smoke alarm sounds. Synthetic materials in furniture and building products burn faster and hotter than natural materials, cutting escape time dramatically compared to 30 years ago.
Plan for Pets in Your Escape Plan
Include your pets in your home fire escape plan. Keep collars and leashes near the door for quick access. Place a pet alert sticker on a front window to let firefighters know how many and what types of pets are inside. If you must evacuate without your pet, tell the firefighters immediately.
