Welcome to NewSalemFire.com.
This website is the resource hub for all localized New Salem Volunteer Fire Department and Ladies Auxiliary information.
The Department
The New Salem Fire Department is a public department whose officers and membership are on a volunteer status. We have an ISO rating of 7. Only one hydrant in the district meets insurance requirements, so we have a bit over eleven thousand gallons of water on wheels. We operate out of 2 stations, our primary station recently received an extensive expansion with engine bay upgrades allowing us to consolidate both firematic and social functions into one building at that location.» Read more on the history of the Department.
