Annual Dues

Remember that your dues help to keep VERY small, rural, FULLY VOLUNTEER (NO paid postions; not even the Chief!) departments running. Your dues help put fuel in the gas tanks to get the trucks to homes, businesses, and fields which have caught fire. Your dues help put gear on the VOLUNTEER firefighters which keeps them safe. Your dues help support training efforts, upkeep the equipment, and the fire stations. Your dues help to pay the bills such as electricity and insurance for the fire stations.

SOME insurance companies will give you a discount on your homeowner’s policy. Check with your insurance company to see if it will!

We NEED YOUR help and support!

For any questions or clarification, please contact Sleeper & Stoutland Fire Chief James Vaughn at (417) 288-1387.
