Welcome all to the Athens Fire Department.
It is our goal that you will find the information herein useful and thought provoking.
 All of the fire department members want to emphasize the importance of fire prevention & preparedness … topics that you will see reflected throughout this site.
By applying simple common sense fire safe preventive measures, such as working smoke & gas detectors, planned escape routes and proper chemical storage, along with other hazardous materials, we can greatly reduce the incidence of loss.
We will do our best to help minimize the loss of life and property damage. We are able to do this by implementing an on-going skill improvement fire training program with the use of modern rescue tools.
But we too need your help.
We are currently recruiting for qualified volunteer fire department members. If you are interested in pursuing a gratifying way of life, take the first step, and see if you have the right stuff.
We also need your help on the rescue equipment portion of our services.
As with any endeavor, our equipment does need updating from time to time. If you or your organization would like to contribute financially, please contact me directly.
Your generosity will also be noted on this website.
At the end of the day, we all want a fire safe home and work place environment.
Therefore, if we all act as part of a team, namely the community residences, organizations and fire department members, we can surely strive to ensure the goal of living within a fire safe environment.
Respectfully,
Bob Allingham
Fire Chief
Athens Fire Department
