fire, ems, rescue, prevention, & more - it's what we do

Our Board of Commissioners is made up of seven elected members who provide financial oversight, strategic planning, & policy direction. They work closely with the Fire Chief, Department Officers, and Staff to continue providing innovative, fiscally responsible & ethical emergency services.

Our Department offers the opportunity of rewarding public safety service to the community. 70 West's residents deserve the best possible service from the Fire Department.  The community expects members of our department to be neat, courteous, honest, and of good conduct.  Our volunteers consist of men and women from all walks of life. Each member performs their duties because they want to help their community, because they love the work, and because of the satisfaction they receive from helping their fellow neighbors. They do it because of the pride that comes from being one of the busiest volunteer fire and rescue companies in Garland County.
