(From the Arlington Volunteer Fire Department)

We want to wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year!

As we look back at 2025, we responded to a total of 86 calls!

Members of the department attended monthly business meetings, equipment checks, trainings, special details, and so much more!

We can’t thank them enough for all the time and effort that they give, sometimes on a very short notice.

There were many accomplishments and highlights from the previous year we would like to note!

-Delivery of new 2025 Sutphen engine

-Addition of two probationary firefighters, Martin Jones and Jake Simmons

-Upgraded portable lighting and power tools for engine 1114 and rescue 1161

-Grand marshal for the 2025 homecoming festival parade

-2025 summer BBQ and fireworks show

-Participated in fire prevention week

-Two members obtained their firefighter level 240 cards

As always, we enjoy interacting with the community and participating in various events.

Big THANK YOU to the Arlington community and the surrounding townships for their continued support.

We’re excited to see what the future has in store for us this upcoming year!
