Both the Elkton Fire Department and Ambulance are made up of volunteers who willingly donate their time to serving others. They proudly serve the community of Elkton as well as surrounding areas.
Members of the Elkton Volunteer Fire Department take advantage of the many opportunities available, such as fire schools and hazardous materials training.
Fire meetings are held the first Thursday of every month and fire training is held the first and fourth Thursdays and second Wednesday of every month. Both are held at the fire hall.
The Elkton Fire Department consists of up to 30 volunteers:
*Tom "Emmett" Kuehl, volunteer fire fighter and EMT, gave his life in April of 2006, while protecting and serving the very community he grew up in and loved.
He was a dedicated community member, loved and respected by family and friends. He enjoyed riding his Harley, attending sporting events in Elkton, NSU in Aberdeen and SDSU. He was a huge Dallas Cowboys fan.
Emmett's memory lives on through a bronze fire fighter statue that can be seen on Elkton's main street. Emmett's family has established a scholarship for Elkton High School graduates in his memory.
He will always be remembered fondly and never forgotten.
"Ride On, Emmett! Ride On!"
*Dennis Kampmann, long-time volunteer fire fighter and Elkton resident, battled many fires over his years of service, but lost his battle with brain cancer on August 2, 2007. He enjoyed hunting, golfing, and spending time with his family, especially his beautiful grand daughters. He will be remembered with a smile, and missed by all who were privileged to know him.
