Our headquarters is in a rural community named Coxheath which is near the town of Sweet
Water, Alabama. We provide our coverage area with the best fire protection, medical first
response, and basic rescue that we can give. We are totally volunteer with almost 55 members
at this time. We are always looking for more members or support personnel. See our "News and
Events" page for details on our department meetings.
We welcome people of our community to join our department if they share an interest in
volunteering their time to help our community. We have a wide variety of needs when it comes
to manpower. Some of our members do not respond to emergency calls at all. They assist with
fund raisers or maybe support and administrative duties. Some of our members prefer to
respond to fires only, some are more interested in medical calls and others help in all aspects.
Please feel free to stop by and see where your talents can be used to benefit the community.
