Other stations are a mix between part-time and/or volunteer stations.  See the Station Map on the department website at Monroe County Emergency Services for specific locations.

As members of this community, all of our staff participate in training, events and activities to make Monroe County the best place to live.  Residents are encouraged to participate and get involved in community events such as: Give Burns the Boot, Yellow Dot, High Falls BBQ Fundraiser, CPR/First Aid Classes, Blood Drives and more!
