BIG NEWS FOR THE DELCAMBRE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR COMMUNITY!

We are extremely proud to announce that the Delcambre Volunteer Fire Department has officially improved its PIAL Fire Protection Rating from a Class 4 to a Class 3!

This is a tremendous accomplishment for our department and the Town of Delcambre!

For those who may not know, the Property Insurance Association of Louisiana (PIAL) evaluates fire departments and communities based on their fire protection capabilities, including equipment, training, staffing, water supply, and emergency response readiness.

Moving from a Class 4 to a Class 3 is a major achievement that reflects the hard work, dedication, and commitment of everyone involved in protecting our community.

What does this mean for our residents and businesses?

This improved classification may result in lower fire insurance premiums for qualifying residential and commercial properties within the Town of Delcambre. We encourage everyone to contact their insurance provider to see how this improved rating may benefit them.

This accomplishment did not happen overnight!

It represents countless hours of training, equipment improvements, preparation, and dedication from our volunteer firefighters.

I want to personally thank every member of the Delcambre Volunteer Fire Department, both past and present, who has contributed to getting us where we are today. Your commitment to this department and the people we serve does not go unnoticed.

I also want to thank our town mayor and officials, community partners, and everyone who continues to support our department. Achievements like this require teamwork, and we are fortunate to have that support.

As Fire Chief, I could not be prouder of our members and what we have accomplished together.

While we celebrate this achievement, our work doesn’t stop here. We will continue improving, and doing everything we can to provide the highest level of fire protection possible for the citizens of Delcambre.

From Class 4 to Class 3 — a proud moment for our department and a big win for our community!

Thank you for your continued trust and support!

Rest Easy, Brother.

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of one of our fellow firefighters from Iberia Parish Fire District 1.

The fire service is more than a job — it’s a brotherhood built on courage, sacrifice, and standing beside one another when our communities need us most. Tonight, we stand beside the family, friends, and brothers and sisters of Iberia Parish Fire District 1 as they grieve this tremendous loss.

From all of us at Delcambre Volunteer Fire Department, our deepest condolences and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your dedication to protecting others.

Rest easy, Brother. Your watch is over. We’ll take it from here.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the loss of one of our own. Jonathan Dunbar tragically passed away early Sunday morning.

Jonathan was a captain on C shift, with 14 dedicated years of service. He brought great knowledge to the fire service, hard work, drive, and earned respect among his crew. His leadership and strong personality will be deeply missed. We will remember Dunbar, as we knew him, from all of his years of service, the brotherhood, and the close relationships formed through time. He will be remembered when we climb upon the truck every shift, and may we honor his service every time.

All of our thoughts and prayers at this time are with his wife, his children, and his family as they navigate through this unimaginable loss. We are deeply saddened at this devastating tragedy. We are grateful for the many years we were given to have known him. May he rest in peace.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his brothers and sisters in the fire service, and everyone in his community who knew and loved him.

May he rest in peace, and may we never forget his sacrifice.
