The Great Falls Volunteer Fire Department is made up on men and women from Great Falls and other areas of Northern Virginia who donate time to service as firefighters, paramedics, EMT's or administrative members.  Our mission is the preservation of life and property from fire or as needed in other emergencies, in the community, in Fairfax County, or where necessary.

We work in partnership with the career staff of the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department who staff our station 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  The Great Falls Volunteer Fire Department owns three of the emergency vehicles that are housed at the station.  Our volunteers work hand in hand with career staff to provide supplemental staffing on the engine, tanker and medic units that operate from station 12.
