The Short Gap Volunteer Fire Company was established in 1946 with just a handful of volunteers. At that point in history the fire company was running just a mere 20 calls a year with the first fire engine puchased from the Fort Ashby Volunteer Fire Department. This unit was being housed at members homes until land was found to begin building a little block station on a dirt road called Knobley Road. Since that time in 1946 the area has grown in population and we now house 2 engines, 1 brush unit, and 2 ambulances at our new 4 bay station built in 1998. We currently have 62 volunteers both firefighters and EMT's along with associate and auxiliary members that help us to be able to respond to over 500 calls per year.

If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact the fire company.
