The Tinmouth Volunteer Fire Department was formed in 1967 by an enthusiastic bunch of volunteers. Our first truck was an old 750 gallon oil truck with a portable pump on it. The Old Grange building was modified to become the first Firehouse of Tinmouth which now has become the Old Firehouse Stage.
After the Church burned in 1969 and was rebuilt in it’s present location, our present Firehouse was built where the Church once stood. There is still one original members of that first Fire Department. Down through the years many, many Tinmouth town folks have been members of the department. All have given generously of their time and skills to help their neighbors in time of emergency or need.
We have slowly, through grants and fundraising, been able to improve our trucks and equipment. We now have two pumper tankers, a large tanker pickup used for wildland fires or other needs, and a utility truck. We are constantly trying to
update the equipment we own, and to add new equipment as feasible. Our equipment includes CO detectors, thermal imaging cameras, jaws of life and portable pumps.
There are over twenty active men and women on the Tinmouth Volunteer Fire Department. We respond to all kinds of emergencies in town, and to mutual aid calls from other towns. We respond to calls for structure fires, accidents,
entrapments, motor vehicle accidents, wildland fires, chimney fires, and support for law enforcement and area Rescue Squads.
We have one fund raising event each year, our Annual Wild Game Supper, which is held the Saturday before Thanksgiving, at the Tinmouth Community Center.
The Tinmouth Volunteer Fire Department meets on the 1st Thursday of the month, at 7:00 pm, and we welcome anyone who is interested in joining to attend a meeting or talk to a member of the department.
