Tonight members of THFD spent the evening training on roof ventilation and saw operations. Crews used the opportunity to work on our old pavilion that was blown down during a recent storm.

This training allowed firefighters to practice proper ventilation techniques, improve saw handling skills, and reinforce safety procedures while operating on a roof. Hands-on training like this helps ensure our members stay prepared and ready to perform these tasks safely and efficiently when responding to real emergencies.

Thank you to all the members who came out tonight and continue dedicating their time to training and serving our community. 🚒

Interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter? THFD is always looking for motivated individuals who want to give back to their community. If you’re interested in joining our team, stop by one of our four stations or contact us on Facebook to learn more about how you can get involved. 👨‍🚒👩‍🚒

Goodbye Old 901

Today we say goodbye to Old 901, a unit that carried a lot of history with it. This truck was the last piece of apparatus at Station 4 that was originally owned by the Tuscarora Fire Department. Over the years it faithfully served our firefighters and community, answering many calls and being part of countless responses.

Last year we replaced it with a 2025 Ford F-250, helping modernize the fleet and better support our members in the field.

While it’s tough to see it go, we’re happy to know this unit is headed to Chandlerville, where it will continue serving another community. We hope it helps their department for many more years to come.

Thank you, 901, for your years of service. 🚒

Welcome to the Fleet!
