The purpose of the Durham Highway Fire Protection Association is to provide fire protection and public safety programs for the community, and any and all activities not prohibited by law that are undertaken toward that end. The governing body for the Durham Highway Fire Protection Association Inc., is it's Board of Directors. The Board authorizes and provides support to (and receives support from) the Durham Highway Volunteer Fire Department for the stated purpose(s) of the Association.
Board directors are elected to staggered two year terms, by members of the association, during the association's Annual May meeting. Members of the Association are those persons who meet the following criteria: Be at least 18 years of age, own real or personal property in the currently defined Durham Highway fire district, and pay fire district tax on said property. Elected directors are then required to attend monthly Association board meetings, which are held the second Monday night of each month, and committee meetings as needed. A typical Association board meeting includes fire chief reports, treasurer report, committee reports, and old and new business. The meetings usually last from one to two hours, but can go longer depending on the subject matter. Meetings are open to the public and begin at 7:00 PM unless otherwise announced.
