Marion Rural Fire Dept.
The same is true today as it was over the years, anytime the Marion Rural Fire Dept. is called to duty,
the members of the Auxiliary are always only a phone call away.
Officers are reminded that they may submit announcements for this page by emailing them to: Jay Rhine. Please allow at least 3 business days for updates to be made.

The Auxiliary has a history as rich as that of the fire department itself. The Auxiliary's main goal has been to assist the fire department and rescue in their many activities, whether it be a social function or a damaging fire, by supplying food and drinks or whatever assistance may be needed to make their jobs as volunteers a little bit easier. The purpose shall be to aid the Fire Department in every way possible, to foster it’s every cause, to stand behind and uphold it in everything it undertakes and to render any assistance possible at all times. The main objective is Fireman’s Relief, and assisting the fire department when called upon to fund-raising for local charities. Always looking for new members.

Auxiliary Prayer
The Ladies wait while their men respond, united as one in a common bond. The bond of serving, each in their own way, the needs that arise, be what they may. The reheated meals, the unsipped drink, are a common occurrence, much more than you think. Its mostly routine and done without flair, the men return, the Ladies are there. But then comes the call, the tough one to fight, a working fire that may last through the night. The Ladies again wait, but this time they know,
that sooner or later they will go.
As they wait for the signal, the time draws near, for that sooner or later to be suddenly here. The men are all weary, some of them spent,
the refreshments that arrive, are heaven sent. The Auxiliary in fact is more than a name, its a dedicated arm of the volunteer game. So God when we pray, for the fireman's care, include the Ladies who are always there.

Fireman's Wife
This is dedicated to my wife. Without her love and support I would not be able to be a Volunteer Firefighter.
The table's set, the meal's prepared, our guests will soon arrive. My husband once more disappears with a hope of keeping a child alive.
While waiting at home again, our plans having gone awry. My first impulse is merely to sit down and cry. But soon again I realize the importance of my life when I agreed to take on the duties of bieng a fireman's wife.
While there are many drawbacks, I'll take them in my stride, the gusting winds and raging flames may be his final fate, but with gods help I can remain my fireman's faithful mate.
