Westville Area Fire Protection District

We will be at the station tonight for our maintenance night where we service the engines, check state of readiness, and other general items.

As our station project is also nearing completion, we will be working on items related to that as well.

Interesting in joining, come down and say hello, check us out, and fill out an application.

Not only do we have cool looking trucks, the new station is pretty sweet too, so much room for activities.

Are you tired of sleeping through the night?
Do you enjoy a unpredictable schedule?
How about hanging out with people that have questionable senses of humor?

If you read the above questions, it doesn't matter if you answered yes or no, we have the opportunity for you!!

Westville Area Fire Protection District offers:
A rewarding volunteer opportunity to be part of the cause.
Free cardio when you least expect it
A second family you didn't ask for
Chances to get dirty, sweaty, and sometimes soaked to the core
The satisfaction of knowing you were part of a team helping member(s) of the community at their worst moment.

Now, I hear you, I have no experience.
That's no problem, we will train you.
We train all the time, that is how you keep and improve your skills.

You can come by the fire station on a Wednesday night around 7 pm and fill out an application, or get in touch with us on Facebook, or talk to someone you know on the fire department.

Don't live in our district, consider joining your local department, everyone can use fresh faces that are willing to help.

So come out, join in the cause, and did we mention how cool our trucks are?

GRANT AWARD ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚒

When the FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) application opened earlier this year, we applied again as we have done in years past. Through this program, we were awarded all new air packs in the 2023 cycle (arrived in 2024), and new supply/attack hoses, nozzles, and adapters in the 2024 cycle (arrived in 2025).

This year, we applied for an NFPA-compliant gear washer/extractor and smart drying cabinet. Properly decontaminating gear after an incident is just as critical as putting the apparatus back in service.

Not only does it extend the life of our protective gear, but it directly protects our firefighters from harmful carcinogens and contaminants encountered during structure fires.

We are proud to announce that the Westville Area Fire Protection District was selected to receive an award for the FY 2025 FEMA AFG grant cycle!

In our ongoing station expansion, we proactively installed the necessary plumbing and utilities in anticipation of this need, so the space is ready for installation as soon as equipment arrives.

Thank you all for your continued support—it is greatly appreciated by all of us at WAFPD!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Tonight we will be at the station at 7:00 pm as tonight is our maintenance night. We go through all of our units to make sure everything is in proper order and address anything that needs done. It is also a time for general station cleanup, which is a constant thing with all the construction. Drywall and concrete dust goes everywhere!!

If you are curious about joining, want to pick up an application, or just want to see our rugged good looks (just kidding), stop by the station tonight. We will be there working and will be happy to answer any questions. We even have pens to use, in case you want to fill out an application right then and there!

Can't make it tonight but want to apply? No problem! Wednesday nights are our go-to nights for things fire department related, so feel free to come by. If Wednesdays don't work for you, feel free to shoot us a message on Facebook Messenger. If you know someone on the department, ask them for an application, or better yet, tag along with them. We are friendly people, we promise!

Have a great day everyone!!
