OUR DEPARTMENT | North Sea Fire Dept.

NORTH SEA FIRE DEPARTMENT

Established in 1934, the North Sea Fire Department (NSFD) began with a group of dedicated community/volunteer members, an assortment of donated equipment and a small parcel of land. To this day, our 100% volunteer membership is dedicated to the North Sea community. We are your neighbors, business owners, friends and family members who respond year round, day or night, regardless of conditions to help those in need. Whether it is a fire, smoke alarm, vehicle accident, medical transport, water rescue or other emergency we are always here to serve others.

Since our formation, we have grown into two fire stations, with some of the latest fire fighting and rescue equipment that helps save lives and protect property in our community. When called upon to help neighboring departments, we do so without reservation. We are proud of our long history of service and honor those who have served before us.

Mission

Our mission is to promptly and professionally serve the needs of the North Sea Fire District community by saving life and protecting property. Done with pride, dedication, and never failing to deliver quality emergency life safety services with the highest level of commitment, teamwork, and community engagement.

Vision

We are proud and dedicated to serve the North Sea community. We are committed to protecting life and property in North Sea, the surrounding communities and any person or agency who may call for our help. We remain current on firefighting and rescue techniques through monthly drills, trainings and schools so we can effectively accomplish our mission. We embrace new technologies, equipment and techniques to provide the highest level of service to our community.
