WRES in Action
Serving Our Community Since 1976
Waldens Ridge Emergency Service, Inc. is an all-volunteer department consisting of over 50 all-volunteer members with two stations supporting a mountainous district of 33 square miles. We are located on Signal Mountain in Hamilton County, Tennessee with two stations at 2100 Taft Highway in the Town of Walden and 7339 Sawyer Pike in an unincorporated area.
WRES proudly provides fire suppression, emergency medical services, rope rescue, vehicle extrication, and hazardous material response in addition to public outreach and education to the Town of Walden and the unincorporated parts of Hamilton County on Signal Mountain. When requested, we also respond to calls in the Town of Signal Mountain, the Lone Oak Community of Signal Mountain, the City of Red Bank, and other areas as needed. Through the Tri-State Mutual Aid Association, we are linked to almost 40 other departments in Southeast Tennessee, Northwest Georgia and Northeast Alabama.
