Perhaps you would consider being one of us. We are always open to new members. Just stop by the firehouse and fill out an application. Even if you don't want to fight fire but would like to help out with our fundraising, we do accept social members for such occasions. Every little bit helps.

Below is a schematic of the new Mt Zion Pumper/Rescue. Other views of the truck can be located on our apparatus page.
Mt Zion Bicentennial Volunteer Fire Company is excited to announce that we have decided on a manufacturer for our four-wheel-drive Pumper/Rescue. We would like to thank the people from E-One, Marion, and Rosenbauer who worked hard to try to build us a pumper that would meet our needs and the needs of our town and surrounding communities. In the end, E-One won out. Thank you to Wes Saltz and First Choice Fire Apparatus for helping make this happen. A thank you goes out to those on the truck committee who spent many hours with a myriad of dealers trying to find the best match for our needs. And finally, a BIG THANK YOU to our members, the residents of Harding, and so many others who have supported us through the years, donating time, goods, food, etc. without whom, our fire company would not be the great fire fighting organization that it is today! Thank you all.
