We would like to thank the Old Richmond Community for their support through out our 50 plus years, both financial and otherwise. With this support we were able to build a state of the art facility in which to house the equipment, train our personnel, and have a place for our personnel to cook, eat, and sleep, but most important, to obtain a 9/6 insurance rating from the Department of Insurance and with this rating the members of the community pays less on their homeowner’s insurance premium.
Each year the department hosts an open house and community appreciation chicken stew. This event is paid for out of the firemen’s fund and not the fire department treasure. All department equipment is on display with volunteers to answer questions and explain the use of the equipment.
We here at Old Richmond want the community to know that this is their fire department and we appreciate the opportunity to take care of it. If there are individuals, civic groups or church groups that would like to come and tour the department please call to make an appointment. If there is a community member that is interested in becoming part of the fire department, either as a firefighter, squad member or board member please contact the fire department at 336-924-6867.
