Eureka Volunteer Fire & Ambulance Company, Inc.

Station 54 Auxiliary Division

The Station 54 Auxiliary is the primary support unit of Eureka, providing both monetary and physical support to the company. The Auxiliary Division can be found at all big emergency scenes, providing much needed food and drink to the firefighters in rehab. This also helps the EMS division to concentrate on the medical status of the firefighters, and not have to worry about providing water on scene.

The Auxiliary supports the department in donating funds to the department. Perfect evidence of this is Brush 54, which was donated by the Auxiliary. The Auxiliary was formed in 1949, initially as the Ladies Auxiliary. It was created by the wife of the firefighters for the sole purpose of supporting the husbands while they did one of the most physically demanding jobs for nothing.
