Volunteer with Howard Volunteer Fire Department

Please join us in giving back to our community. We are actively recruiting new members.

We have found that volunteering at HVFD is satisfying and rewarding. We learn new skills, break out of our comfort zones, and feel more a part of our community. We cannot function without volunteers.
