100% volunteer
Every member is a volunteer. Nobody here is paid to walk toward the fire. They do it because it is their town.

Neighbors on call
when the tones drop.
The Masonville Fire Department is a 100% volunteer department. When a fire, crash, or emergency happens on these back roads, it is a small crew of local people who answer, day or night, in every kind of weather.
In an emergency, always call 911 first. This page is not monitored.
Field notes on the department
A volunteer crew covering the rural corner of Delaware County.
Masonville sits in the southwest hills of Delaware County, New York, miles of state highway and back road between farms and woodlots. There is no career staff here. Fire protection is provided the way it has been for generations in small towns like this one: by neighbors who train, keep the trucks ready, and turn out when the call comes.
Rural coverage
Long response distances on rural roads mean seconds count and every extra trained hand on the crew matters.
Always on call
Fires, crashes, storms, and mutual aid to neighboring towns. The crew answers whenever the tones drop, at any hour.
Answer the call
Your town needs a few more people willing to turn out.
A volunteer department is only as strong as the neighbors who step up. You do not have to run into a burning building to help. There is a role here for almost anyone who wants to serve. Pick one to see how to get started.
