Goose Creek Island VFD Needs Volunteers

The Goose Creek Island Volunteer Fire Department provides emergency service for our island and the surrounding communities of Bay Creek and Mesic.  They provide coverage for fires, accidents, medivac, water rescues, and other emergencies. The members consist of devoted individuals from diverse backgrounds such as commercial fishing, tug boat captains and crew members, retired civil service workers, electricians, etc.  The Goose Creek Island community demonstrates its pride in helping others by providing the manpower and services to its volunteer fire department organization.  The Goose Creek Island Volunteer Fire Department meets each Monday night at 7:00pm at the fire department.  There is always a need for volunteers, especially when the department responds to an emergency.  If you would like to help, please come out to the fire department on any Monday night or call Chief, William Rowe at 252-229-7162. 

Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in.
