Every Hero Starts Somewhere!
By volunteering, you'll be part of a dedicated team ready to respond when your community needs help the most. No prior experience is required—just the desire to make a difference. The first step to becoming a hero is the decision to act. Please take your time filling out the application in full. We appreciate you considering our department!
Want to stop by? We hold a work detail/engine practice on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 PM, meetings on the second Thursday at 7:00 PM, and additional practices on the fourth Tuesday at 6:30 PM. We’d love to see you there!

Honorary Members
An Honorary Member of Adell Fire Department is someone who has made significant contributions to our department or community, even though they may not be actively involved in day-to-day fire service operations. This special title is given to individuals who have supported us in meaningful ways—whether through fundraising, advocacy, community service, or other efforts that strengthen our mission.
While honorary members do not participate in fire-related duties, their recognition highlights the department’s appreciation for their dedication and positive impact. Honorary members are often invited to special events and ceremonies, where they are celebrated for their continued support of our work and the community we serve.
Being an honorary member of our department is a gesture of gratitude, symbolizing the important role these individuals play in helping us fulfill our commitment to protecting lives and property.
