The 2012 fund drive was mailed out in Early April, requesting donations
from the residents and businesses
of the Barnard Fire District. Unfortunately,
donation returns are down
from previous years.
These donations assist in covering
organizational expenses for the Volunteer
Fire Department and purchasing
equipment not covered by tax dollars
such as our Rescue truck, its extrication
equipment (“Jaws of Life”) and a variety
of other equipment.
A second mailing for our annual
fund drive will go out in late summer.
If you have already donated, “ThankYou” very much. If not, we ask you to
reconsider and please send in your
donation. It is through the generosity
of people such as you that make good
things happen in the community.
No matter what the emergency, the dedicated men and women of the Barnard Fire Department are here for you! When the alarm sounds, we are easy to see. When all is quiet, we are still here, ready to respond to your emergency
From the Department President
Dear Citizen,
Thank you for viewing our webpage and your interest in the Barnard Fire Department.
Volunteering is an extremely rewarding endeavor, especially in the Fire Service. Our Fire District relies on our volunteers in conjunction with our career staff to perform firefighting duties, emergency medical services, rescue and much more in servicing the citizens of the Barnard Fire District. Our department responds to over 3000 calls per year for service. We are a very busy, active combination department.
To provide this service requires a great deal of commitment and teamwork by all to be successful. All of our members understand the importance of customer service to the residents of the Barnard Fire District. They take initiative, follow procedures, maintain high standards, promote teamwork and display professionalism at all times. However, the firefighting team cannot function without the services of other members who are just as dedicated to volunteer and serve in administering the operations of the fire department, but not as a firefighter. We offer a social membership.
Anyone who does not have the desire to participate directly in emergency services as an active firefighter, or those who cannot meet the physical demands for active membership are encouraged to serve our department in this capacity. Social members do not participate in any emergency responses nor are they required to attend the required training under our operations divisions.
Our Social membership provides administrative support to run the daily business of our busy fire department. From accounting, secretarial, computer, public relations, maintenance, community education, annual fund raising events and other functions - there's plenty to do behind the scenes.
Lastly and most importantly, making the decision to become an active volunteer firefighter is a big one. It is a time consuming responsibility. It involves a great deal of training and much time away from home initially and at lesser amounts thereafter.
Your choice, to become an active firefighter or social member at Barnard, takes self motivation and a considerable time commitment to promote the well being of the department and the citizens we serve.
We are always looking for people that have skills and desires that would benefit the operation of this Department. It’s something that each applicant must give serious thought to, before making the decision to become a volunteer. We suggest that you discuss the possibility thoroughly with the significant people in your life and weigh all of your other personal and professional obligations before making a decision to become a member. If after careful consideration, you are still committed to joining the team at Barnard, we welcome you and your family and encourage you in this endeavor. If you have any questions you may contact the firehouse at 663-1113.
Sincerely,
Robert Diederich
President
Barnard Fire Department
Your friends and neighbors volunteering to serve the community since 1927!
