Fire Hall
The Elmwood Volunteer Fire Department was organized May 16, 1899, as the village fire department. Today, the firemen meet twice a month. The second Monday of the month is set aside for business transactions. It is also a time to plan fundraisers such as selling fireworks or planning the pancake feed at the Holiday Extravaganza. The fourth Monday of the month is training night and a time to do maintenance checks. They train on the use of air packs, ladders, and all functions of the fire trucks. Each month a crew from both the fire department and rescue squad get together to do general cleaning of all areas of the firehouse. Their readiness efforts are designed to keep them prepared for any emergency. Every year in December, there is an election of officers for both the fire and rescue.
