"The Genegantslet Fire Company was organized in the 1852 - 1864 timeframe. It was incorporated in 1949 and is currently located at 5333 State Highway 41 in Smithville Flats. It is staffed by 30 volunteer members. Among them, four are certified Emergency Medical Technicians that can offer basic first aid, CPR, and also operate emergency defibrillator equipment as necessary. In cases when an ambulance is needed, The Greene Emergency Squad is the town’s primary source of emergency ALS care and transportation. The eastern and southeast portion of the town is covered by the Village of Oxford Emergency Squad.
The fire company’s fleet is made up of four vehicles; currently there is a front line fire engine, a pump tanker, a water tanker, and a mini pumper. The building pictured above is the new fire station dedicated June 2011.
The Town of Smithville has an agreement with three different fire companies to provide fire coverage. Under the current (2012) agreement, the Genegantslet Fire Company Inc. provides coverage for the entire western portion of the town, including Smithville Flats and the area of Smithville Center west of Pollard Road. The eastern portion of the town, known as Tyner, is covered by the Village of Oxford Fire Department. A small portion of southeast Smithville is protected by the Brisben Fire Department."
