About Us:

The Bridgetown Fire Department is a Volunteer Department. When someone dials 9-1-1 we are notified by pager, and we leave our homes and jobs to go to where ever we are needed. We have to drive to the fire station to get the necessary equipment and fire trucks, in our personal vehicles.

Our methods of extinguishment have been refined over the years through education in fire sciences. Basically speaking, the best method of extinguishment is a quick interior attack if possible. This is made possible with the improved personal safety equipment that today's firefighters use. Turnout gear and breathing apparatus helps us get closer to the fire for short periods of time.
