Through raffles, photo fundraisers and other activities, the fire department works very hard to ensure financial viability. Unfortunately, the equipment we use is very specialized and therefore, quite expensive. As a result, we are continually trying to increase our revenues so that we can utilize the most advanced equipment available when you call on us for assistance. We appreciate the support that you have shown us over the years and ask you to continue your generosity into the future so that we will always be ready to help.

The Red Oak Community Rural Fire Department is truly a community based, volunteer organization. The people who respond to your emergencies from our station are volunteers. They receive no direct compensation from a town, the county, or the fire department. These dedicated men and women save our community thousands of dollars each year in salary and benefit cost that would otherwise have to be funded by taxes.
