The Department has had an active Auxiliary since 1969. The auxiliary provides food and refreshments to the firefighters at serious incidents. They sponsor fund raising activities for the Crusade for Children, as well as feeding the firefighters and other workers during the Crusade. They also sponsor annual Halloween and Christmas parties for the firefighters families. During the 1994 Winter Storm, they assisted the firefighters with the Emergency Care Shelter set up at the headquarters station, and provided food for the more than 100 people housed there during the week.
