Garland Volunteer Fire Department
2025 commemorates our service to the community for 70 years.
The Garland Volunteer Fire Department was organized in 1955 to provide the citizens who lived within the Township of Pittsfield with a basic level of manual fire suppression capability. Today, although it is still a fire department, it exists to provide a variety of emergency management services primarily to the approximately 1200 people who live in the Township of Pittsfield and the 270 people who live in the Township of Deerfield.
The mission of the Garland Volunteer Fire Department: The mission of the Garland Volunteer Fire Department is to provide a safe, well-trained, professional, and courteous team that strives to exceed our community’s expectations of our organization. This requires our members to be part of a capable, aggressive, all-risk emergency service that focuses on “Preserving the Past and Protecting the Future” of those we serve.
Our volunteers spend countless hours training, maintaining the fire equipment, apparatus, and the station, along with doing various fundraisers that help prepare them to protect and serve our community in their time of need during an emergency.
Current Projects/Needs:
Rural Water Supply Equipment & Training Equipment
After completing a needs assessment, the membership of the Garland Volunteer Fire Department has identified that a portable pump and a portable water pond is needed to provide adequate protection and service to the community and surrounding areas. We currently have a portable pump and pond, which are both in need of replacement due to age and the cost of necessary repairs.
For our training needs, we are looking at a forcible entry training door and container for hose advancement, interior search and confined space rescue training.
Your contribution through Warren Gives will be put towards these projects.
