About Us

The Washington County Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association’s (WCVFRA) was formed in 1933 to represent the 10 original member companies then in existence. The Association is tasked with setting the standards in regards to operations, training, support, response, and equipment. We also represent the member companies to the various government agencies for operational, administrative, and legislative issues.

Mission

  • To further enhance the protection of life and property of the citizens of Washington County and its surrounding areas.
  • To educate our community about fire prevention; suppression; and about EMS, rescue, and other related services.
  • To help cultivate fellowship among our members.
