Snowflake Fire Department
 The
Snowflake Fire Department covers an area of approximately 450
square miles. Mutual aid agreements exist with the Taylor Fire Department, which enables both
communities to share resources in the event of structural
fires.
The Department consists of 25 volunteer firefighters, with a
maximum capacity of 35. Five Emergency Medical Technicians
provide their support, with Paramedics provided by a joint ambulance service.
The Department places a great importance on training, and
together with a program through Northland Pioneer College, the
Fire fighters undergo 24 hours of HAZMAT training (the
department is equipped for HAZMAT First Response), and trains to
the IFSTA 4th Edition (the national standard)
toward the internationally recognized firefighter 1 and 2 Certifications.
