Acceptance of these terms

By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms apply only to this website and may be updated as the department’s services or website change.

Emergency information

This website and its contact form are not monitored as an emergency communication service. For a fire, medical emergency, or other immediate danger, call 911. Do not rely on website content, email, or social media to request emergency assistance.

Informational purpose

The website provides general information about the Long Beach Volunteer Fire Department, volunteer opportunities, community programs, safety topics, and department activities. Content is offered for general educational and informational purposes and is not a substitute for emergency instructions, professional medical advice, legal advice, or instructions from public-safety officials.

Acceptable use

You may use the site for lawful, personal, and informational purposes. You may not:

• Attempt to disrupt, damage, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the website or its systems.
• Use automated tools in a way that interferes with normal site operation.
• Submit false, threatening, abusive, unlawful, or misleading information through the contact form.
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation with the department.

Accuracy and availability

We work to keep website information useful and current, but we do not guarantee that every page is complete, error-free, or continuously available. Department procedures, personnel, events, and contact details may change. Official emergency directions and notices from authorized public agencies take priority over website content.

External links

The site may link to the Town of Long Beach, Facebook, and other third-party services. Those websites are operated independently and have their own terms and privacy practices. A link does not mean the department controls or guarantees third-party content.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise noted, website text, graphics, department branding, and original materials are owned by or used with permission of the Long Beach Volunteer Fire Department. You may share links to public pages and make reasonable personal, noncommercial use of the content. Department marks or materials may not be used in a way that suggests endorsement or official affiliation without permission.

Messages and submissions

Information submitted through the contact form must be accurate and appropriate for a non-emergency inquiry. Please do not send confidential medical, financial, or other highly sensitive information. Our handling of submitted information is described in the Privacy Policy.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The website is provided on an “as available” basis to the extent permitted by law. The department does not warrant uninterrupted access or that all information will always be current. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the department is not responsible for damages arising from reliance on website content, inability to access the site, or use of third-party links.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms of Use when the website, department practices, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page identifies the latest revision.
