Membership in one of Fairfax County’s 12 volunteer fire and rescue departments means being a part of one of the most respected emergency service organizations in the United States. Every day, volunteers stand side-by-side with career professionals to save lives, protect property, and forge ties within our communities. Volunteering provides you with an opportunity to challenge yourself, build new skills, and become part of a tight-knit public service force; all while feeling the rewards of having contributed to a purpose greater than yourself.

The Fairfax County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association (FCVFRA) is a partnership of 12 volunteer fire and rescue departments in Fairfax County. Volunteers in the 12 departments are full partners with the career staff of the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, providing emergency services in and around Fairfax County.
