Emerald Mountain

Volunteer Fire Department

Elmore Country, Alabama

The Emerald Mountain Volunteer Fire Department is located in south Elmore County, Alabama and encompasses approximately 30 square miles, near the Redland Community.  The department is a fully donor supported department and is housed in one station on the north side of the Emerald Mountain subdivision.  The mostly rural district has several small business and 5 churches, in addition to several hundred houses.  Hard work on behalf of the firefighters has paid dividends in the form of an excellent ISO rating of 4.  The men of the department respond to all structure and woodland fires, automotive accidents, search and rescue and to assisted ambulance helicopter landings.

Membership is open to anyone living in the Emerald Mountain Fire District and there is always a need for more firefighters.  Firefighter meetings and training are on every Thursday night (except during December) and 4 Saturdays a year.  Experienced firefighters are welcome, as well as the inexperienced.  Inexperienced firefighters are required to complete the Firefighter I course sanctioned by the Alabama Fire College prior to become involved in active, internal firefighting, but may assist with other fireground duties.  To speak to a member directly, see the contacts page.
