We have eight employees and forty volunteers.       Emergency medical services are provided by 18 First Responders who ensure the community of prompt and professional emergency medical care. Visit the South Boston Volunteer Fire Company Web site. The Fire Department was started in 1884. About 1920 the town purchased its first real fire engine, an American-LaFrance, which was used for many years. Read the history here.
