Mission Profile
The White Horse Volunteer Fire Company operates on the southern
side of Hamilton Township. From this station we respond with
a Telesquirt, an engine (pumper), a multipurpose utility truck,
and a pickup truck. The company also has two chief vehicles operated by the
chief of the company and the deputy chief.
We spend countless hours
training to maintain certifications in fire fighting,
emergency medical services, and technical operations. We are
also constantly upgrading our skills and equipment to keep
up with the latest technology and practices in the fire
service.
All of this training and equipment is brought
to bear on more than 1300 calls for help each year and
this number is rising steadily. Calls range from resetting fire alarms
to car accidents to large-scale
fires.
