Events / News

New and Updated equipment

A complete set of airbags have been purchased to replace the set that has been used for 20 + years. The new bags are very similar, but with minor changes in construction making them much more efficient.

Also purchased was a set of stabilization screw jacks, which also have lifting capabilities. Thanks to Meier Towing for providing a training area and vehicles for practice..

Moville Fire recently purchased DVD's called " Fire Is" through a safety grant. Copies for the public are located at the Woodbury County Library, Fire Station, and Woodbury Central School.

Through a grant written by firefighter Jerry Sailer, the dept was able to purchase 12 mobile radios to aid in communication, a commercial turnout gear clothes washer, and a cascade, air pak loading system. These will help make our dept stronger and better equipped for the future.
