Responding quickly and effectively to emergencies and safety of our firefighters is our number one priority. The need for a ladder truck was evident on March 5, 2014 with the fire located on the east side of the town square.

 
 Financially, Gallatin Fire Protection District cannot afford the purchase of a used ladder truck without your help. Your donations would give the Fire District the opportunity to purchase a used ladder truck to provide the necessary services to protect the people in our community. It’s a good resource for the citizens of Gallatin and will be an asset for quite some time.

 Any donations, small or large will be greatly appreciated. You, as an individual, may not feel you can contribute much, but all donations combined will make a difference to keep our community safe.

 This would allow Volunteer Firefighters of Gallatin Fire an immediate response with a ladder truck when called upon and offer a mutual aid resource for neighboring towns.

Fire Prevention Week:      October 6-12, 2013
 The theme for this year is " Prevent Kitchen Fires "
 
 This theme is to encourage greater care when cooking and an awareness of kitchen fire dangers. Cooking is the number one cause of home fires and home fire injuries. This is an opportunity to promote safe kitchen habits with stoves, microwaves and other appliances. To ensure family safety, it is important to remain attentive when cooking and manage how close children and pets are to anything hot.

A Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God, wherever flame may rage,

Give me strength to save some life, whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child, before it is too late,

Or save an older person from, the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout,

And quickly and efficiently, to put the fire out.
 

I want to fill my calling, and to give the best in me,

To guard my every neighbor, and protect his property.
 

And if according to my fate, I am to lose my life,

Please Bless with your protecting hand, my children

And my wife.
