About the Station

Serving Our Community

Since 1984, the Dry Creek Volunteer Fire Department has proudly served our community, growing from a grassroots effort with a single fire engine into a vital public safety organization. In 1987, we made history as the first fire station in Tippah County to respond to EMS emergencies, expanding our services to include fire suppression, light rescue, first response/EMS, public safety education, and more. Today, Dry Creek Fire & Rescue operates with a dedicated team of around 30 personnel, working in three shifts to ensure rapid response and safety. Our fleet includes six well-equipped emergency apparatus, ready to meet the needs of our community. Join us in supporting and learning more about the essential work we do to protect and serve!
