HISTORY OF THE AUXILIARY
The Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) was first formed in 1938 in Great Britain as part of a Civil Defense Air Raid precaution; Around the time of the Cold War. The war-time establishment was made up solely of volunteers with a mission of supplementing the work of the brigades at a local level.

WHAT WE DO:
Primarily, we work to assist the firefighters returning from their difficult volunteerism with meals and drinks. But the Fire Department Auxiliary comes with numerous talents and experiences. Sometimes, what is most needed for men and women alike to leave everything and fight a fire is something as simple as child care.

Other methods of assistance involve Emergency Response Preparedness in the community. Through involvement in the community, they bridge the gap between the citizens and their protectorate.
