The South Fork Fire Department has served for over 115 years providing fire protection to the local communities. The South Fork Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 was chartered in 1908 "for the support of a fire engine, hook and ladder, hose or other components for the control of fire". This original charter not only formed and structured the department but has led to the creation of a solid foundation build slowly on character, professionalism, and respect "For One Another". The department today works to maintain highly complex equipment and training to perform their everyday duties. The wide range of emergencies has challenged our firefighters the learn, train, and execute tasks like never before. But even with these demands the company's members still look out "For One Another" to make sure that safety and professionalism are upheld to their highest standards.
