Timber-Hollis Fire Protection District

We sent three THFD firefighters to Winter Fire School at IFSI, where they participated in hands-on, real-world training designed to sharpen their skills and improve fireground safety. Training like this ensures we’re always ready to serve our community at the highest level.

The Timber-Hollis Fire Protection District (THFPD) is always seeking dedicated new volunteer firefighters to serve our community.

We currently have 34 members across four fire stations located in Glasford, Kingston Mines, Mapleton, and Tuscarora. All stations are in need of additional volunteers:
• Glasford: 18 members
• Kingston Mines: 6 members
• Mapleton: 8 members
• Tuscarora: 3 members

Due to limited staffing at some stations, response times in parts of our district can be delayed depending on the time of day and member availability. Increasing our membership will directly improve emergency response and community safety.

THFPD will assist members in obtaining their EMT-Basic and Basic Operations Firefighter certifications. Training is held every Wednesday from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM at Station 1, located at 401 S. Glasford Rd, Glasford.

If you’re interested in learning valuable, life-saving skills and making a real difference by helping others, contact us here or stop by on a training night.

Requirements to Apply:
• Must be at least 16 years of age
• Must live within the THFPD fire district

Another successful year at THFPD!
We answered a record-breaking 504 incidents, all made possible by the dedication and hard work of our incredible volunteers. This year, we proudly welcomed many new members—nearly doubling our roster—and strengthening our department more than ever.

We also placed a new squad in service at Station 4, better equipped to meet the needs of our firefighters and the community we serve. In addition, we began construction of our new training facility, giving our firefighters the opportunity to receive higher-quality training right here in our own backyard.

We are proud of how far we’ve come and excited for what’s ahead.

Today we honor those who’ve served our country with the same sense of duty and courage that defines our job every day.

One of our members have worn the nation’s uniform before wearing this one, and that tradition of service runs deep in our ranks.

From all of us at the Timber-Hollis Fire Department , thank you to every veteran for your commitment, your sacrifice, and your example.
