Welcome to Oak Bowery,
Your Neighbors in Safety
For generations, our dedicated volunteers have stood ready to protect the homes, families, and livelihoods of the Heidelberg community. This is more than a service — it's a promise we keep every single day.
Rooted in Community,
Built on Trust
Oak Bowery Volunteer Fire Department has been a cornerstone of public safety in Heidelberg, Mississippi, for over three decades. Our team of dedicated volunteers lives and works right here in the community we serve — your neighbors, your fellow church members, and the local business owners you see every day.
Located at 3048 Highway 528, our station operates around the clock, 365 days a year. From structure fires and vehicle accidents to medical emergencies and hazardous material incidents, we respond to whatever the community needs — always with professionalism, courage, and compassion.
