Volunteer.
Professional.

The Baker Hill Volunteer Fire Division is made up of roughly 20 dedicated community members who answer the call whenever it comes — day or night, on duty or off. These aren't career firefighters collecting a paycheck. They're your neighbors, volunteering their time to protect the county they call home.

From structure fires and vehicle accidents to brush fires and county-wide mutual aid, our volunteer firefighters train to the same standards as career departments — and respond with the same urgency. We sponsor Firefighter I & II certification through the Alabama Fire College at no cost to our members.

ISO 5 / 9 Rating

5/9

Public Protection Classification

The ISO rating reflects the overall fire protection capability of our district. A Class 5 rating within 5 miles of the station and Class 9 beyond reflects our apparatus, training, water supply capabilities, and emergency communications infrastructure.

This rating directly affects homeowner insurance premiums in our district — meaning our investment in equipment, training, and personnel has real financial impact on the community we protect.
