Briaroaks Fire Department
Make A Donation
The operating budget covers the bare minimum of what it costs to run a professional, efficient fire department and rescue squad. Our members do not receive any financial reimbursement for the time they donate for training, equipment and truck maintenance or responding to emergency calls. All of the operating budget is spent on the basics to run the department, such as fuel costs, electric and phone costs, equipment maintenance, personal protective equipment etc. Briaroaks Fire Department is a 501(c)(3) organization, which means your donations are tax deductible. We will send you a thank you with the deduction information for all donations.
Two Ways Out of Every Room
Every family member should know at least two ways out of every room in the house in case one exit is blocked by fire. Practice your home escape plan at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including children. Pick a meeting spot outside — like a mailbox or tree — so everyone can be accounted for.
Cooking Fires Are the #1 Cause
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Unattended cooking is by far the biggest contributing factor. Never leave the kitchen while something is on the stove, and keep flammable items like towels and paper away from the burner.
