The Pana Fire Department relies on volunteer efforts to continue making an impact on the community they serve. Pana Fire Department continues to visit schools, assist in walkthroughs, create emergency plans, and provide free smoke detectors and installation. All possible because of the 25 plus volunteers commitment to making a difference. Talking about the department’s impact had on Pana is Tim Christer, a volunteer firefighter with over 20 years of experience. Christer focuses on the community aspect of their work and why he finds it so meaningful, especially for local kids.

Christer explains the regular walkthroughs done of area establishments and how this helps the business owner and Pana Fire Department, prepare for any situation.

In addition to this, the Pana Fire Department has teamed up with the American Red Cross to bring smoke detectors to residents, free of charge.
