The SLVFD would like to welcome our newest members who attended their first regular department meeting on May 2nd. The SLVFD is always looking to attract new members. Members are expected to attend meetings, attend extensive training and respond to emergencies. It is a huge commitment, but for those willing to put forth the effort this is an extremely gratifying career where you can learn a new trade, be of great service to your community and you will belong to one of the strongest comraderies ever!
