About Moscow VFD

Moscow Volunteer Fire Department is a combination of a small and dedicated paid staff, along with dozens of dedicated volunteers and resident firefighters. We are here to respond to emergencies and promote fire and general public safety in Moscow and the surrounding areas. We also offer some public safety training as well as teaching children fire safety.

Many of our members volunteer countless additional hours in charitable organizations, IDL forest protection, and other activities. Some of us are involved in military service, others homemakers. We are college students, parents, family members and full-time staff seeking to make safety work and work well, for the benefit of all Moscow residents.

MVFD was established in 1892. To learn more about our history, visit the history section of the site. Moscow VFD today seeks to be an efficient, well-trained company of professionals prepared to respond during critical moments for the preservation of life and property.
