Woodsboro Volunteer Fire ... 

In the year 1953, a group of citizens met in the Woodsboro Hall over the bank building to decide what to do with  $30,000 they had in "The Community Betterment Fund". The money was the proceeds from carnivals held to pay the balance of expenses on the Town War Memorial. A motion was made to give the town $5,000 to start a water system and up to $15,000 if water was supplied. The remaining balance was donated to buy a fire engine... Since the arrival of the first fire engine, the company now has two fire engines, an ambulance, a rescue squad, a ladder truck and a boat.

Woodsboro Volunteer Services ...

The Woodsboro Volunteer Fire Company provides Fire, Rescue, Ambulance and Water Rescue Services to the citizens of Woodsboro and surrounding communities.  During 6:00 am - 6:00 pm M-F, the station is staffed with two paid DFRS personnel. In addition to staffed DFRS personnel, volunteer personnel are on call 24/7 to respond to emergencies.

 

Woodsboro Volunteer Funding ...

Currently the department is funded by internal fund raising efforts as well as a fire district tax program established by the county to fund the cost of daytime personnel. The Woodsboro Volunteer Fire Company does bill for its ambulance services, however fire fighting services are not. Donations are accepted and appreciated by the company. Donations may be sent to our address listed on the contact page.
