Calamus Volunteer Fire Department

🚒 KEEPING OUR FIRE STATION READY!

The Calamus Volunteer Fire Department is working toward replacing the aging heating and cooling system at our fire station.

Like most small-town volunteer departments, we depend heavily on the generosity of our community to make major improvements like this possible.

Whether you've attended one of our breakfasts, supported our fundraisers, or simply thanked a volunteer firefighter, we appreciate you!

If you would like to know how you can help support our department, reach out to a member or Chief Mike Lacey for more information.

Small Town. Big Hearts. Strong Community. 🚒❤️

🚒❤️ 816 PEOPLE IN 2½ HOURS!!! ❤️🚒

WOW, Calamus! What an incredible turnout for our Annual Pit Beef Dinner!

We served 816 meals in just 2½ hours, and we cannot thank everyone enough who came out, stood in line, grabbed a meal, donated, volunteered, shared our posts, and supported the Calamus Volunteer Fire Department.

Fundraisers like this are incredibly important to our department. Your support helps us maintain and replace the trucks, equipment and gear we rely on to serve our community. Every single meal makes a difference.

We may be a small-town volunteer fire department, but Sunday was another reminder that we have one heck of a community standing behind us. ❤️

From all of us at the Calamus Volunteer Fire Department — THANK YOU!

🔥 816 meals. 2½ hours. One amazing community. 🚒❤️
