LOYAL TO OUR DUTY
"As first responders to fires, accidents and disasters, the Belle Fourche Volunteer Fire Department (BFVFD) helps to protect the lives and property of Belle Fourche area residents and visitors. The BFVFD, through its members, advances public safety by means of its fire prevention and education programs. The delivery of these services, made possible largely by the contributions of the community, serve to make the Belle Fourche area a significantly safer place to live, work, and play." ~ Belle Fourche Fire Department
Humorous aside:
"Why Are Fire Trucks Red?
Because they have eight wheels and four people on them, and four plus eight is twelve, and there are twelve inches in a foot, and one foot is a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was also a ship, and the ship sailed he seas, and in the seas are fish, and fish have fins, and Finns fought the Russians, and the Russians are red, that is why fire trucks are red." ~ according to the Monty Pythonesque application of the principles of logic and etymology
