Sorry to bust your bubble but the last time I checked Fine VFD in St Lawrence County NY only had 10 or 11 members.

Angela, I would bet your about average in numbers. We have 45 volunteers and average 18-20 per call. As full time paid Chief I respond on all calls as does my full time paid Asst Chief. We have about 360 calls for service per year with over half those calls being EMS calls.

As of right now, we have 27 total members. That includes one chief, one asst. chief, two captains, two lieutenants, and one safety officer, and 20 firefighters. We usually have a fairly good turnout as far as people showing up to calls. Of course there are some times when its another 65 y/o female having diff. breathing at 2 in the morning when people dont like to show up.lol We never have a prolbem with getting enough guys for a truck.
