Slayton Fire Department
The Slayton Fire Department is staffed by thirty volunteer fire fighters including Fire Chief, Chris LeTendre.
Fire Department volunteers meet twice each month for meetings and additional training opportunities. In addition to the annual Fireman's Dance (held in July), the department is active in several community parades through out the summer.
October is Fire Awareness month and your fire department volunteers can be seen hosting fire safety demonstrations at local schools. If you have any questions regarding fire safety for your family, please contact one of your volunteer firemen or contact City Hall to set up an appointment to discuss your needs.
