Ashley Fire Protection District

The AFPD was formed in 2017, which combined the Ashley Fire Dept. and The Ashley rural fire dept. The Department is made up of all volunteers that service a 400 Sq. mile area. We are a full fire and rescue
department. We are trained in structural and wildland fires and also trained in and certified for the Jaws of Life in case of auto accidents.
We maintain a fleet of 2 pumper trucks, 1 rescue truck, 4 wildland trucks and a tanker truck. Two of our trucks are also capable to spray water or foam which suppresses the fire.
We are part of the community and are open, by appointment, for tours of our facility and trucks.

Located on the south shore of Lake Hoskins about 4 miles west of present day Ashley, the settlement of Hoskins was the original McIntosh County seat. Hoskins was established in 1884 and later abandoned in 1888 when Ashley was established. Today, on the shores of Lake Hoskins, lies a monument in remembrance of the first families of the settlement at Hoskins.

Today, Ashley continues to be the county seat for McIntosh County including the county courthouse built in 1920 which houses county offices as well as the county court of law. The county has several agencies including Health, Social Services, Sheriff Department, Ag Extension Service, District Attorney, as well as proper area for deeds and registry.
