The Stirling Volunteer Fire Company Number 1 was established in 1913. Its motto, which
appears on all the trucks, is "Defenders of the South End" .
The volunteers also expend about 900 hours in training and maintenance each year.
The 25 active members of the Fire Company accomplish their fire/rescue tasks using:
 A 2008 Pierce Quantum pumper delivered in August, 2008. - Engine 24 is currently the primary response engine.
- A 2001 Smeal/Spartan pumper delivered in February, 2002.
- A 1998 Smeal/Spartan rescue truck - Rescue 26 is the first
truck to respond to car accidents, carbon monoxide alarms, trapped persons, etc., where rescue rather
than fire is more likely to be the controlling issue. Follow the link to also read
about our role in regional Confined Space Rescue.
- A 2002 Ford Explorer, used as a
command vehicle. It is also equipped with
??? for use in difficult terrain situations.
- A 1938 Diamond "T" pumper, which is primarily used as a parade and nostalgia vehicle.

we strongly urge you to place the appropriate stickers on the window of their bedroom(s).
These stickers alert the fire fighters to immediately search those rooms for a child or invalid
in the event of a fire.
We also have a reflectorized bumper sticker for automobiles which carry invalids.
