Buffalo Volunteer Fire Department 122 E. Front Street
|
|||
| The Buffalo Volunteer Fire Department was
established on December 10, 1870, making it one of the oldest fire
departments in Scott County, protecting the county’s oldest city. Our
fire district is made up of agricultural, residential, commercial and
heavy industrial areas. Our district encompasses 16 square miles and has
a residential population of 2,500 people. The industrial area includes a
one million gallon fuel and asphalt oil storage plant, two mining
operations, two corporate grain elevators, a salt processing facility
and in 2006 a one hundred million gallon per year ethanol plant. We
encounter heavy truck and railroad traffic through our downtown area and
protect 6.5 miles of Mississippi riverfront for recreational and
commercial use. We operate out of one station and have a staff of 25
dedicated volunteer firefighters.

| I
have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman.
The position may, in the eyes of some, be a lowly one. But we who
know the work a fireman has to do, believe his is a noble calling.
Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such
thoughts, the nobility of the job thrills us and stimulates us to deeds
of daring, even of supreme sacrifice. -Edward Croker, Chief of Department, NYC 1899-1911
