The Busti Fire Department Ladies Auxillary was organized in 1941 by a group of 25 ladies who were, for the most part, wives of the members of the Fire Department. Their purpouse was to be of help to the men of the department in their endeavor to make our community a safe place to live.

Today, the Busti Fire Auxiliary has nearly 50 members who still work with the Fire Department in their continued quest to better our community. At the time of major fires, the auxiliary can be found at the scene supplying food and drink to the firefighters. Annually, the Auxiliary makes a monetary donation to the Fire Department to augment their Finances.

The Auxiliary is known for their food at the fund raising events the Fire Department and local community organizations host such as the Annual Apple Harvest Festival and the Pumpkin Hurling Festival.
