Auxiliary Fire Department

In 1942 the Verona Auxiliary Fire Department was created as a Civilian Defense measure, in the event of an enemy attack, and an aid to the Fire Department. The Department was active until the 1970s. In 2003, the Verona Fire Department re-activated the Auxiliary Fire Department to allow young men and women the opportunity to serve their community until they become old enough to become a regular member.
