Serving the Town of Foster since 1928
Fire & EMS for the Town of Foster
South Foster Volunteer Fire Company provides the Town of Foster's 911 fire and emergency medical services — volunteer firefighters, and a career-staffed EMS division, Foster EMS.
Who we are
Established in 1928, South Foster Volunteer Fire Company protects lives and property across the northern half of Foster — and answers every 911 medical call in town as Foster EMS.
Nearly a century later we have new apparatus, a modern station, and new members. Our fire company is still volunteer; Foster EMS is now career-staffed around the clock. The Town of Foster funds part of the operation; the rest is covered by donations and fundraising from the community we serve.
