About Tri-Community Fire Department Fire Department
Our History
The rapid growth of our region, both in population and infrastructure, meant that a more organized and unified system was necessary to meet the increasing demands for fire protection, rescue services, and medical emergencies. In the early 1970s, community leaders recognized this need and understood that by combining their resources, they could form a stronger, more coordinated force—one that could better protect everyone who called this area home.
With this vision in mind, the Tri-Community Fire Department was incorporated in 1974, initially serving the communities of Bunkerhill, Goss, and Cedar Grove. Over time, the department expanded to cover additional areas, including Improve, New Union, and Keno, now known as Enon.
As the years passed and the department's service area grew, so too did its capabilities. The early stations were built with scrap and donated materials, reflecting the dedication and resourcefulness of the community. The department's fire trucks evolved from old GI trucks to modern Class A fire trucks, and tankers were crafted from repurposed gas trucks and chicken fertilizer trucks, with makeshift seats made from 5-gallon buckets. This evolution in equipment, along with the growth in personnel and community support, allowed Tri-Community Fire Department to meet the ever-increasing demands of a growing region.
Our Mission
