With our call volume steadily increasing every year (over 325+ fire and 1000+ EMS calls in 2024) we still rely heavily on Volunteers to staff our apparatus and protect the growing community of Frederica and surrounding areas.
Last week, Frederica Volunteer Fire Company conducted joint water rescue training with Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company. During the session, members familiarized themselves with each other's equipment and practiced making rescues from boats, aiming to enhance their proficiency for future collaboration during real emergencies.
