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.

Two Ways Out of Every Room

Every family member should know at least two ways out of every room in the house in case one exit is blocked by fire. Practice your home escape plan at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including children. Pick a meeting spot outside — like a mailbox or tree — so everyone can be accounted for.

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.
