This dedicated team goes above and beyond traditional firefighting duties to serve the needs of its residents. The department empowers the community with life-saving skills by offering invaluable CPR courses for people of all ages, including teenagers and adults.
Moreover, the volunteer firefighters actively engage with the town by hosting blood drives, organizing delightful pancake breakfasts, supporting local charities, and contributing to various city-wide events. Their unwavering commitment to community service embodies the true spirit of Bement, fostering a sense of togetherness and solidarity among its inhabitants.
Recognizing the need for advanced firefighting equipment, the Bement Volunteer Fire Department sought a reliable solution from Osco Tank & Truck Sales. Their decision proved astute, as they acquired a state-of-the-art 3500-gallon Poly Elliptical Tank mounted on a commanding Commander Series Truck.
