How We Are Staffed and How We Respond

Founded in 1934, the Moon Fire Company is a 100% volunteer organization for both administrative and operational functions. Simply stated, we do not have anyone staffing our stations and we respond to emergencies when dispatched.

Elections for both operational and administrative positions in the fire company are held every two years. These positions, including Fire Chief and Board of Directors, are voted on solely by our membership. The fire company is able to operate as a result of three sources of funding; donations, grants, and support from the Township of Moon. There is a .20 mils fire tax that goes to the Township of Moon which is primarily used to maintain four fire stations, which we operate from. Unlike most towns of our size which have fully staffed fire departments, fire protection in Moon is still provided by our separate volunteer organization.
