✨THANK YOU FOR RENEWING, PUTNAM COUNTY FIRE SERVICE✨
The Putnam County Fire Service was established in 1986 to improve and preserve fire protection throughout the county. Today, eight volunteer fire departments respond to nearly 4,000 calls annually, including structure fires, medical emergencies, rescues, and hazardous materials incidents.
Comprised primarily of dedicated volunteers, these firefighters selflessly give their time and energy - without compensation - to protect their neighbors and communities. The Fire Service works closely with these departments to ensure effective emergency response, minimize homeowner insurance costs, and provide essential services countywide.
It is the mission and goal of the Putnam County Fire Service to protect life and property. We appreciate the hard work these women and men! Thank you for protecting #PutnamWV! 💪🔥🚒 ... See MoreSee Less
