Popular culture refers to firefighters as "The Bravest", but in reality the firefighter ranks are made up of individuals who's primary traits are that they are hard working and dedicated. The hard work can be seen on any scene and is the easiest to spot as firefighters wearing 60 pounds of gear and carrying 40 pounds of equipment work to fight a fire or rescue a person trapped in a vehicle accident. The dedication is what truly makes your firefighters an asset to the community. In addition to fire response we respond to calls for medical assistance, vehicle accidents, assist with public events, inspect child safety seats, and provide fire safety education. In total, the volunteers of HSFPD respond to more than 500 calls for service every year. As a volunteer organization we are always in need of additional personnel, and hope that you consider joining us to see "what we do" first hand.
