The Almelund
Fire & Rescue Department serves 90 square miles and all or
part of four townships (Amador, part of Sunrise, Chisago Lakes
and Shafer). They are a self-supporting service organization
and a great benefit to our local area.
The
department currently has well-trained firemen and
first responders, all of whom are volunteers. If you are
interested in volunteering, please contact us.
They serve a
population of 3,000 residents with medical and fire
protection. Also within the service area is Wild Mountain and
Wild River State Park, both which are located in Amador
Township.
-
Wild River State
Park includes 15 miles of the St. Croix National Scenic
River which draws over 180,000 campers, hikers and boaters
to this area each year.
-
Wild Mountain
Ski & Water Slide Recreational Area attracts over 220,000
visitors year around.
-
Wild Mountain Winery is less
than two miles northeast of Almelund. They
offer summer camping on their beautiful site.
Continued
development in our area for housing along with scenic and
recreational attractions require that our department be
current and up-to-date with equipment and training.
If you are
interested in more information on this organization and the
volunteer opportunities that are involved, please contact one
of the township supervisors. |
