Our Fire & Ambulance is one department which is very rare and unique. Our department and its members are a huge asset to our community. Sutherland is able to take pride in knowing we have excellent men and women ready to help our residents at a moment’s notice.
New technology such as the “I am Responding” Program allows our members to respond very quickly to calls and know who else is in route to the scene or station. This is helping them respond as quickly as possible when needed.
Members still have the ability to be either on the Fire or Ambulance Teams without being a member of both.
If you’re looking to join our department, please speak with a current member or come to one of our monthly meetings and check it out!
How to become a fire fighter – Fire Department members will take Fire Fighter classes as they are offered in our area.
How to become an EMT – New Ambulance members will only need to take EMT classes after being with the Department for 6 months.
We are always looking for new members to help serve our community!
Meetings are held the fourth Thursday every month.
Annual Events: Thanksgiving meal, Fireman’s Bingo, etc.
Donations can be made by sending them to City Hall made out to Sutherland Fire & Ambulance or by going to GovPayNet.com and using PLC # 4569
