The Tuckertown Volunteer Fire Department was established on May 12, 1978. The organization was small at first with only a handful of volunteers. Over the years both the Station and the responsibilities of the Station have grown. Tuckertown Fire Department helps 8 other Stations protect the 57.1 square miles that is the Town of South Kingstown. Our membership has grown to roughly twenty active firefighters as well as several life and associate members. We house two engines at Station 8. We have a Class-A pumper as our first run piece and a brush truck for backup and support. On top of our two trucks we also house a rescue boat. The station has gone through major renovation. A new bay and meeting area has been added to the existing station for a total addition of 2500 square feet. The renovation was completed in fall 2013.
