The department covers six miles of Interstate 35, eight miles of railroad, 42 square miles, including the Poet Biorefining Ethanol plant and the Soymor Biodiesel plant. The city of Gordonsville and parts of Shellrock and Freeman Township are also included in their service territory.

The profits from the breakfast will be used to educate and train the volunteers as well as purchase equipment.
