Support NBVFRC
New Baltimore Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company’s mission is to provide trained and certified emergency medical services personnel to respond to medical emergencies, and firefighters to provide fire suppression and response to traffic accidents in Fauquier County, Virginia. We also provide mutual aid to surrounding jurisdictions, and can assist with HazMat or technical rescue efforts. Our staff consists of trained, certified volunteers who staff the station and apparatus 24/7/365 as well as provide administrative and logistical support. In an era of increased demand for 911 response, new volunteers are always welcome, and donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations are crucial in funding public demand for emergency medical services and fire suppression.

As a 501(c)(3) Volunteer Fire Station, we are eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions if they are utilized for a public purpose. New Baltimore Volunteer Fire and Rescue utilizes donations to pay for operating expenses, including purchasing:
- Fire engines
- Structural fire gear for our firefighters
- Emergency medical supplies, and
- Other expenses related to operating a fire station
Rural and semi-rural areas depend on volunteer firefighters and EMT’s to respond to 911 calls and we are a vital component of local government infrastructure.
Volunteer Firefighters and EMS personnel donate our time and serve year around, but need help paying for the tools and equipment we require to help you in your time of need.
People require emergency medical treatment and transport, and require emergency assistance in cases of structure or vehicle fires or accidents. By providing trained, licensed volunteer emergency medical technicians and firefighters, we assist our community and reduce the demand for taxpayer funded government services, and provide these services without regard for the ability to pay.
The New Baltimore Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company counts on the support of the members of our community, like you, to continue to provide the excellent fire and rescue services you deserve.
