The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) is the only national organization whose sole purpose is to represent volunteer fire and emergency medical services ( EMS ) personnel. Since 1976, we've proudly supported volunteer fire and EMS departments nationwide through our advocacy, tools, resources, and programs.

 

It takes a special kind of person willing to take on the challenge of responding to life-threatening emergencies. The NVFC is devoted to giving our nation's volunteer fire and EMS departments everything they need to support their local fire and EMS personnel and raise awareness about their critically important role in keeping our communities safe. You can help us fulfill our mission by pledging your support today.
