Dixon VFD/EMS
is there for you
every call
every day
every time.
Support our training, continuing education, & community outreach programs.
Dixon VFD/EMS depends upon community support for
volunteer training
& community outreach programs.
Our sources of government funding cover the purchase of fire apparatuses, fire station maintenance, communications systems, and firefighter personal protection equipment. Those sources are not sufficient to maintain effective training and continuing education programs for our 20 volunteers.
Your donation will also support our community outreach programs including chipping projects, our annual Summer Youth Cadet Program, and CPR/First Aid trainings.
Dixon VFD provides emergency management services
We are there to help with emergency management for flooding, rock falls, downed power lines, gas leaks, search & rescue, and motor vehicle accident traffic control. Dixon VFD Station 1 is a source of emergency electrical power in the event of regional outages.
Your support helps keep
Dixon VFD/EMS strong and growing.
