Recently, three of our paid-on-call firefighters were presented with their black helmets. If you remember from previous posts, a new firefighter wears a yellow helmet while they are in training and until they have proven they can be safe and trusted on a fire scene. Congratulations to Josh Kermes, Tyler Larsen and Aung Win. ... See MoreSee Less

Our annual meeting was last Monday and we thought we would share some of the 2024 statistics that we found interesting.

On average, Tuesdays are our busiest day and between 3 and 6 p.m. is on average our busiest time of day.

Our annual meeting was last Monday and we thought we would share some of the 2024 statistics that we found interesting. 

On average, Tuesdays are our busiest day and between 3 and 6 p.m. is on average our busiest time of day.

An interesting statistic that was figured for our annual meeting last Monday was the property and content we have saved.

In 2024, the calculated total property and content we saved came out to $5.4 million. Broken down into a smaller statistic - that comes out to $1,323 per person in the city.

Since 2019, ALFR's calculated property and content saved totals $135.5 million or $7,528 per person.
