Photos Show Commitment Of Dorchester's Volunteer First Responders



We've said it before; we'll write it again: The volunteers of the Dorchester Fire and Rescue Department make a big sacrifice to serve and protect the residents of our area, and the department is vital to our community.

The devotion and commitment of DVFD personnel were captured on film this past weekend by local photographer Sharon Axline.  

Axline took photos of the fire department's live fire training as firefighters took down the long-abandoned home at the intersection of Jefferson Ave. and 9th St.  

It was encouraging to see Friend FD volunteers take part in the joint training exercise since the units often have to work together on large fires.

Leaders of the DVFD for 2018 are:
  • Fire Chief - Brant Pracheil;
  • Assistant Fire Chief - Todd Axline;
  • Rescue Captain - Matt Steuk;
  • Assistant Rescue Captain - Cory Schlueter; and
  • Secretary/Treasurer - Chad Tuttle.
Hats off to our community's first responders and their leaders for serving Dorchester and the surrounding countryside.

If you'd like to show your appreciation and donate to the DVFD, you may do so by sending a contribution to:

Dorchester Volunteer Fire Dept. 
P.O. Box 36

Or if you'd like information on becoming a volunteer yourself, talk to one of the members today.
