ELIZABETH FIRE FOUNDATION

The Elizabeth Fire Department was established in 1947 after the fire at Jones Motor Company, which threatened the entire east end of town. The population was ever-increasing, and it was no longer possible to fund the department on donation. So, in 1977 the fire department became a tax based individual district called The Elizabeth Fire Protection District (EFPD)... We value teamwork and the strength of decisions developed through open and collaborative processes. We understand that every person in the organization is a stakeholder and provides valuable input to decision making at some point... We will conduct ourselves with respect and with manners when interacting with our peers and our community. Our goal is to bring credit to the Fire District whenever we contact our community members.
