BURNING PERMITS are no longer required. If your campfire or yard waste gets out of control or is called in to 911 dispatch you are responsible for the expense of the fire run.
From 1880 to 1903 the Department was known as the Dale Fire Protection Association. During that time a horse drawn fire cart was used to fight fires. The cart was kept at the fire hall. The Department had approximately 15 members. The Dale Fire and Rescue has since grown to about approximately 36 members. First Responders were approved at the Annual Meeting in 1993.

Chad Degal, Fire Chief
