None of the fire fighters or first responders receive any form of payment, even while responding to a call.
The Pellatt United Fire Fighters have a boat and motor and can respond to island emergencies.
Calling 911 from this area will not bring help. Know your emergency numbers and ensure other family members know them as well.
Smoke detectors are now required in every level of your home.
