Mission Statement
Through professional and dedicated members, the Granite Falls Fire Department cares for and protects the lives and property of our community through rapid incident response, comprehensive training, public education, and fire prevention.
Introduction
Granite Falls Fire Department is a municipal department consisting of twelve full time employees and nine volunteers. We provide twenty four hour coverage for fire suppression, medical emergencies, and rescue services. The Fire Department hosts training meetings weekly on Monday nights. Depending on the type of emergency, we may respond with two engines, a tanker truck, a ladder truck, a brush truck, and/or a first responder vehicle.
Granite Falls Fire Department hosts an Explorer Post for individuals aged fourteen to eighteen who wish to pursue a firefighting career or volunteer opportunities. These explorers meet every other Tuesday evening for their training meetings. Granite Falls Fire Department is also a permanent car seat checking station. We check your child's car seat to insure that it is properly installed for your child's safety. These checks are completed by appointment.
