We are in the process of creating a board with all past members of the Vergas Fire and Rescue Department. If you know someone who served, please comment their names! Bonus if you know the years they were on the department!

***Note: We do have a list, but thought the public could help fill in some blanks. We do not have all people on the board and have a list to order.

We have a few spots left! ๐ŸŽฃ

The comradery within the department its like a second family. But one of my favorite parts is the physical and mental strengths that comes with every call. Some calls you are pushing your body and mind to the limit in extreme temperatures or environments. You are doing hard work and pushing yourself. No call is the same so you need a good team with great communication and we have that!

Thank you Bobbi for your time, strength and ongoing dedication to the department. Your many hours of meetings, training, calls donโ€™t go unnoticed!
