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.

Donations are processed securely by PayPal, which opens in a new tab. You can give with a PayPal account or a debit or credit card. Giving on behalf of a business, or have a question? Let us know at info@briaroaksfire.com.

Stop, Drop, and Roll Still Works
If your clothing catches fire, do not run. Running fans the flames and makes them worse. Stop where you are, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands, and roll back and forth until the fire is out. This technique has saved countless lives since it was first taught in the 1970s.
Smoke Alarms Cut Your Risk in Half
Working smoke alarms reduce your risk of dying in a home fire by roughly 50%. Test your alarms monthly, replace batteries at least once a year, and replace the entire unit every 10 years. If you hear that chirping sound, change the battery immediately — do not ignore it.
