The Idaho Volunteer Fire & Emergency Services Association was founded in 2006 to represent the approximately 5,400 volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians across Idaho. Membership is comprised of volunteer emergency responders, chief officers of volunteer and combination departments and other individuals who support the volunteer fire and EMS service.

Being a volunteer is a very rewarding experience and a great way to serve your community.  Over 1 million Idaho residents live in an area supported by volunteer or combination fire departments. These departments rely on volunteers to protect their communities.  Without volunteers, these residents and property are at risk.  There are over 5,000 volunteer emergency responders in Idaho, but we need more volunteers to adequately protect our state and its citizens.
