  • This years Country Breakfast was May 19th and we fed 637 people!  Below are a few pictures from the event.  We would like to say THANK YOU to Hiland Dairy, Richards Meat Market, Wal-Mart & Sam's Club.   These businesses are what our community is all about!

 

 

  • Effective July 1, 2007, there will be a change in the joining fee amount and the yearly dues paid to the fire department.  On March 26 the board voted to raise the joining fee to $120 and the yearly dues to $60.  This is to help offset the cost of fuel and equipment used by our firefighters at calls.  The joining fee will now also include a reflective address sign with your address on it.  This is to help the first responders and fire fighters find your home easily.  These signs can be installed by our firefighters if you are unable to do the installation.  Just contact Shane Wood at 443-5700 for assistance.

 

  • Effective March 1, 2007, Round Mountain fire department will have a 4/6 ISO rating.  This means that if you live within 1000 feet of a fire hydrant, you get insurance rates based on an ISO 4 rating, and if your house is further than 1000 feet, you get an ISO rating of 6.  This is an incredible drop from the 9 that we were rated at before.  Please contact your insurance agent to get more information on how this might help lower your insurance rates.  We would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone that put so much time into getting prepared for and doing the actual testing.  We really appreciate it!

 

  • If you are interested in getting a reflective address sign for your driveway, to make it easier for emergency vehicles to locate you, please call 442-5700 or 521-1894.  We have those available for $10.

 

 

Membership

 

A membership to the Round Mountain Fire Department costs $120 initially (which covers your first years $60 also) and is $60 for each year after that, which is due in June.  Income from these fees provides safety and lifesaving equipment to our volunteer fire fighters and emergency medical personnel and maintenance for our equipment.  Our volunteers will be there to assist you in any emergency.  By becoming a member, you make sure they have the proper training and equipment to do that job.

New members will receive, as part of that joining fee, a red address sign with  reflective white numbers.  This makes finding the address easier for our first responders & fire fighters.  Existing members can purchase one of these signs for $10.  Signs can also be installed if you are unable to do it.  Just contact Shane Wood at 442-5700 for assistance. 

We hope that you will choose to become a member of our fire department and an active member of our community.  If you choose not to be a member, please be aware that we will charge a minimum fee of $500 to respond to a fire at your residence.  This fee can easily be avoided by keeping your membership with the fire department current.

If you are interested in becoming a member or have questions, call Pam Barton at 521-1894 or e-mail pbarton@roundmtn.org.

We do accept electronic payments through at this time, but only if you can do a debit from a bank account.  No credit cards payments at this time.  If you are interested in paying electronically, call or send an e-mail to pbarton@roundmtn.org.  If you are a new member, you will need to call or e-mail the following information to Pam Barton before your payment can be posted or a receipt can be issued.
