Fire

The Fire Branch responds to fires, vehicle accidents, fire alarms, small fuel leaks, carbon monoxide alarms, earthquakes, aircraft emergencies, building collapses, hazardous materials incidents, technical rescues, explosions, terrorist attacks, etc. The Fire Marshal serves as the training officer for the Fire Branch. We also have a Junior Firefighter (JFF) program for youth ages 15-18 years old.

​

We understand that life is busy (family, work, school, volunteering, etc) and your time is limited. Maybe your job requires you to be away from town frequently and/or for long periods of time. Maybe your boss will not allow you to leave work. Do not let your busy schedule deter you from becoming a volunteering with PVFD. We currently have members from all walks of life: fishermen, Forest Service employees, self-employed business owners, hospital employees, small business employees, retired persons, etc. We just ask that you participate when you can.

 

There are many benefits from joining the Petersburg Volunteer Fire Department. You will become part of our family. You will be providing an amazing service to your community. You may be eligible for the many incentives offered by the Association and Borough.
