Erris Volunteer Fire Association

The erris volunteer fire association continues to operate a community fire department that provides emergency medical first response services and protection prevention and supression services to the community of erris and our mutual aid partners. We have 25 volunteers who help deliver this service to the community responding to approx 25 to 30 emergency calls per year. These volunteers meet for a 2 hour fire/medical practice once a week and the leadership (directors and officers) also volunteer their time to participate in other planning / management meetings throughout the year. As we look for new ways to better serve our community under fire prevention we have had a number of public education initiatives encouraging residents to adopt firesmart principals and practices on and around their homes to prevent loss from wildfire.
