A small group of volunteers has begun emergency medical training and hopes to have an official volunteer department by next year.
Residents in Two Rivers hope to form a new fire department. Volunteers participated in a training with Nenana Volunteer Fire/EMS Department in May 2022. Smith, a 43-year-old Two Rivers resident, was afraid it was one of her neighbors calling about yet another fire in the community of about 650 residents east of Fairbanks.
The volunteer firefighters have already completed varying levels of medical training and are working with the Fairbanks North Star Borough on the steps needed to establish a department. Supporters formed a nonprofit called Two Rivers Fire Rescue, and Smith, the vice president of the board, said she hopes they will be ready to respond by next year.completed at least one course of emergency medical technician training, she said.
When the fires started in June 2021, it felt like everyone was at risk, said Luke Drewelow, a Two Rivers resident who will be a captain for the new fire department. Amanda Smith is the vice president of Two River Fire Rescue's board. Two Rivers hopes to form its own volunteer fire department. The decision whether to form a fire district in Two Rivers could come a number of different ways, including by assembly vote or a vote from Two Rivers residents, Williams said. The borough would contract out the services rather than running them internally.
Two Rivers is standing up its own volunteer fire department in 2022. Captain Luke Drewelow and Joe Bennett are a part of the force.
