The National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) is the leading nonprofit membership association representing the interests of the volunteer fire, EMS, and rescue services.

The NVFC accomplishes its mission and provides meaningful support to fire and EMS organizations through a wide range of services and programs:
- Representing the interests of the volunteer fire, emergency medical, and rescue services at the U.S. Congress, federal agencies, and national standards setting committees
- Focusing on health and safety
- Helping departments recruit and retain fire service and EMS/rescue personnel
- Providing training on topics that matter to the fire service and EMS/rescue
- Assisting departments in establishing support programs
- Fostering the next generation of firefighters
- NVFC members also receive a wide range of benefits, including a $10,000 AD&D insurance policy, access to the Volunteer Voices member forum, free training in the Virtual Classroom, and much more. Learn more about NVFC membership and join today at www.nvfc.org/join.
Our voice is stronger when we act together. That is where grassroots advocacy comes in. When the NVFC has a legislative priority it wants to get through Congress, members and supporters can use this Legislative Action Center to help. Action Alerts will be posted here when they are active. Each Action Alert will have an easy option for you to send a letter to your Senators and/or Representative to ask them to support critical fire and emergency service legislation.
Use the sign up tool to receive notification of a new Action Alert when it is posted.
