The Department also answered 20 mutual aid calls which included 9 structure fires, 5 forest/grass fires & various other calls. Total 2023 calls for service were 780, of which 434 were responded to by the Fire Department . The service area covered is about 60 square miles. All of the purpose achievements were conducted by 100% volunteers who are on call and respond when dispatch calls them. One other particular program that the Fire Department conducted at the request of the Tennessee State Fire Marshalls office is that it provided and installed 44 smoke detectors in 2023 in homes that requested them. The smoke detectors are provided free of charge to the Fire Department and the Fire Department installs and instructs the residents on the use of the detectors. The Fire Department does not charge anyone for this service. The Fire Department also does not incur any expenses in conducting this program, as the state of Tennessee freely provides the detectors and the volunteer firefighters provide the service for free. 83866 true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 true false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false X ROBERT L GUTHRIE 8658032156 3250 Lake City Hwy Rocky Top TN 37769 X DONALD ANDREWS BOARD MEMBER 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 DR STEPHEN TEAGUE BOARD MEMBER 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GARY LAMB BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID SANDERS BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD JEFFERS BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 TIMOTHY ISBEL BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE SEIBER BOARD MEMBER AND ASSIST CHIEF 6.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BENNY ASLINGER BOARD MEMBER 4.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOE GILLIAM CHAIR 20.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BENJAMIN WHITE SECRETARY 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRANDY GILLIAM WELLS TREASURER 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 103604 103604 93 93 4000 4000 4000 4000 8030 2400 5630 5630 113327 93 0 9630 575 575 3512 3512 5057 4652 405 61 56 5 49283 48847 436 10761 10496 265 TN SOS ANNUAL REPORT 21 21 FIREFIGHTING ACCESSORIES 14594 14594 EQUIPMENT REPAIR 2112 2112 TRAINING 912 912 2378 2197 181 89266 83866 5400 0 148720 165948 1257167 1066100 199112 191067 347832 357015 14878 14878 0 X 332954 357015 332954 357015 347832 357015 24061 0 X false false false X 117587 53295 108929 103604 383415 117587 53295 108929 103604 383415 383415 8 2 18 93 121 7986 3586 12568 8030 32170 415706 0.92230 0.92050 X 51450 51450 43081 77092 44132 76041 2124 1083420 1021968 63576 191067 Officer directors etc family relationship Part VI line 2 The former fire chief, who is now chair and a voting member of the Board, has a daughter who is a voting Board member and is the treasurer.
