The Sterling Volunteer Fire Company is always looking for new members to help staff our fire trucks and/or perform administrative functions around the station. No experience necessary and all training is FREE.
The SVFC relies on the the community for financial support. Our biggest fund raiser is our annual mailing in the fall, but we always welcome your financial support at any time. We also hold other fund raising events throughout the year. Find out about those in the Community Events section at the bottom of the page.
A message from the SVFC and the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI):
Between 2009-2013, U.S. fire departments responded to an annual average of 860 home structure fires that began with holiday decorations and an additional 210 home structure fires that began with Christmas trees, according to the National Fire Protection Association.
- Keep decorations or any other flammable items at least 3 ft away from open flame and heat sources.
- Inspect all decorations to ensure they do not have any frayed or pinched wires and discard any worn decorations.
- Ensure multiple extension cords are never strung together or are run under rugs, carpets, or furniture, and make sure those used outdoors are labeled “for outdoor use.”
- Never leave cooking equipment unattended and turn off burners if you have to leave the room.
- Never leave a space heater unattended and turn it off when you’re leaving a room or going to sleep. Never let pets or children play too close to a space heater.
- Water Christmas trees daily and discard trees when they are dry and begin to drop needles.
