ALWAYS call 911 in the event of any emergency. 911 emergency operators will dispatch all necessary emergency personnel based on the nature of the emergency, to include fire, police, EMS and forestry services.

All volunteers carry a pager and/or radio, which dispatches the type of call and location.

Birthday parties are welcomed upon station and firefighter availability. Fire awareness and tours of the station and fire trucks can also be provided. Station 1 has full kitchen facilities, tables, chairs, and restrooms. Additional supplies will be the responsibility of the person(s) coordinating the event. Due to varying departmental schedules, some dates and times are reserved for training, therefore, advance scheduling is important. Please contact Antioch V.F.D. at 706-576-5559 for further details and assistance.

For training purposes, we welcome the opportunity to coordinate training burns, contingent that certain environmental and safety factors are met regarding the property. We welcome the opportunity to utilize properties for a period of time (a few days to a few months) for simulated fire and rescue training prior to burning the property. Please contact Antioch V.F.D. at 706-576-5559 for assistance.

Antioch V.F.D. only clears trees and debris from roadways to ensure the safety of the public traveling our roadways, or in an effort to reach the scene of an accident should trees have fallen in the path of emergency vehicles. Additionally, should trees fall on a residence in such a manner that it creates a safety concern due to the tree itself or downed power lines, Antioch V.F.D. will assist as necessary to the limit of removing victims and immediate safety hazards. Any additional efforts are the responsibility of the homeowner.

Please do not plant flowers or shrubs around fire hydrants, or otherwise place items near hydrants that may otherwise prevent a clear view and access to the hydrant. In emergency situations, it is critical that firefighters be able to quickly locate all available hydrants and have immediate access to the hydrant. You assistance is greatly appreciated in keeping any accessible hydrant clean and clear of debris.
