Multi-generational dedication to keeping the community safe and aware of fire preventative actions is what we pride ourselves on.

Secondary Support provides emergency support to on-scene firefighters and emergency responders. This includes food and water. They help victims understand what is happening, and to help them begin the recovery process. From a non-emergency stand point they help plan and execute activities for the firefighters.

Members of Secondary Support and community members host annual Remembrance Run for families of 9/11 fallen First Responders.

Being a 100% volunteer department, as well as not-for-profit, we rely solely on the generosity of others!
