BRIEF HISTORY

The Fischer Rescue Squad is one of the oldest operating rescue squads in the state of Alabama and is the oldest in Dekalb county. The squad was organized in early 1960 by the Fischer Explorer Scouts for the purpose of search and rescue and has been in operation since. Fischer is located on the outskirts of Fort Payne Alabama. We serve the Fischer area on Lookout Mountain which includes Desoto State Park to our north and the USA's newest National Preserve, Little River Canyon National Preserve. to our east. We proudly serve as members of the Alabama Association of Rescue Squads (AARS).

FISCHER RESCUE UNVEILS NEW ROPE TRUCK

For the past several years the members of Fischer Rescue Squad have been working diligently to raise money toward the purchase of a later model Rescue Vehicle. After being denied repeatedly for Federal and State Grants, the members took it upon themselves to solicit donations from within the community, as well as having various fundraising activities, such as chicken dinners, chili dinners and an ongoing 911 sign campaign. We had 2 members make separate trips to Washington to meet with Representative Robert Aderholt to ask for assistance, but to no avail.
Despite this drawback, Fischer Rescue Squad has purchased and put into service a 1995 model vehicle to be used as their primary Rope Rescue Truck. We have stepped out in faith that our community and local business leaders will continue to assist with our financial obligation to pay for it. We are truly grateful for what has already been given, and would like for anyone interested in contributing to send their tax-deductible donation to" Fischer Rescue Squad at 1309 Fischer Road, Fort Payne, Alabama 35967
