fire departments

The basic objectives of all emergency services providers are life safety, incident stabilization and property conservation.  Simply put, people come first! Our firefighters at Eastern Pines are our greatest asset; all of the fire trucks and the gear they carry are important tools of the trade but they are useless without well-trained firefighters. For this reason training receives a lot of attention at Eastern Pines.  Second to training, we are committed to ensuring that our firefighters have the right equipment and tools to handle any emergency.  Thirdly, we strive to provide our citizens with economical fire protection that passes cost savings on to our property owners whenever possible. By effectively managing our tax district, fund raising and grant writing we feel we are accomplishing our goal to the best of our ability. The National Volunteer Fire Council’s Fire Department Costing Model Calculator estimates that EPFR saves each person in our district up to $570 - $890 per year for a total annual savings between $5.0 and $7.8 million dollars. In addition, by achieving a Public Protection Classification rating that is two points better than the minimum standard, property owners are the beneficiaries of significant fire insurance savings.
