Like many volunteer organizations, we suffer from a serious problem that you can help us solve. Low membership plagues all volunteer organizations and we are no exception. By joining you will not only be helping us you will be helping your self, your family, your friends and neighbors.

There are many jobs in the fire company, some that involve fighting fires and some that do not. We do not require members to become interior firefighters. There are numerous jobs that one can do without having to fight fire, such as, become a Fire Policeman, Run the Pumps on the trucks, Run the auto extrication equipment, or become an Emergency Medical Technician to name just a few.

We supply full workers compensation insurance, in the event that you become injured at an incident.

Fire and Med Team officers are elected annually.

The East Maine Fire Company is a non-profit corporation run by a Board of Directors elected from the membership at the annual elections in December.
