The Upper Yaak Fire Department, in existence since 1994, is an all-volunteer organization that responds to local emergencies.
The first fire chief was Martin Redlinger. Firefighters can be found responding to structure fires, wildland fires, downed power lines, car accidents and medical emergencies in the Yaak Valley.
Running this operation is expensive and the local tax assessment fee of $60 per property owner does not cover all equipment costs, training and operations. Each year the Upper Yaak Fire Department Auxiliary sponsors a rummage sale that encourages local residents to clean out their closets, basements and outbuildings and donate items for a sale during the Labor Day weekend.
