About the Alum Creek VFD....

The Alum Creek VFD was established in 1963. We provide primary fire and rescue services to over 2000 homes and businesses in two counties with an ISO rating of Class 4. Our fire district of both Kanawha and Lincoln counties encompasses 112 square miles that is mostly rural country.  We provide rescue services to the Hatfield-McCoy Ivy Branch trail system and the hundreds of miles of connectors and "outlaw" trails.  Only about 50 percent of the area has fire hydrants, so we rely greatly on tanker shuttles and drafting operations to maintain water supply for many residential house fires. We currently operate from three fire stations and we are encountering a growth in business and housing development construction and we will continue our efforts to reduce insurance premiums in all possible ways. We are thankful for the trust and support of our community and we strive to provide the best service possible. Our department is 100 percent totally volunteer staffed with men and women from the community who are trained and ready to help.
