CIVFD, We stumbled on an accident this morning (26 July) where a lady fell asleep and ran into the woods near Swan Point road. CIVFD responded. Just wanted to say we were very impressed with your professionalism. Very good job. You deserve a pat on the back. Frank
Very nice site. Keep up the great work and stay safe!

The staff was very helpful with the serving of beverages when we needed them. Thanks again...we can't wait till next year to attend again. Lisa

I want to congratulate your entire department and community on the new fire station. My father, Fred Thorne, helped to get the fire department going in the early years, and he would be very proud of where it is today. I have fond memories of growing up on the island, and still consider it home. The only suggestion that I have for your website would be to insert captions on some of the early photos (if possible) as I know how memories fade over the years. I enjoyed seeing them very much. The patch I received several years ago when I visited the island is very cherished.
Congratulations on your new Fire Station it is beautiful. Sorry I didi not make it down to your opening. Look forward to coming down for a tour. Look forward every year seeing you all at Octoberfest. Stay Safe See you soon!!
