A donation is made by Amazon when you use their donation site "smile.amazon.com". The process of purchasing items and the prices are the same. On the first purchase you will be asked to pick your non-profit organization. In the future you would only change your bookmark to smile.amazon.com. Behind the scene Amazon makes a small donation to the     non-profit when purchases are made. Quarterly these donations are deposited in our bank account. (0.5% isn't much but every dollar helps)  There are no fees or cost to you. Please consider these easy steps to help your volunteer fire company! Again there are no fees or cost to you. Thank you.

Mission Statement

The purpose of North Warren Volunteer Fire & Rescue of Warren County Virginia is to provide emergency and public services to any resident within Warren County, visitor to our county, or any mutual jurisdiction requesting assistance. These services may include but are not limited to fire prevention, suppression activities, emergency medical service, rescue, or education and public services.

It's On Order!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELPING US REACH OUR GOAL!

We are very proud of how our community came together for this much needed project. Even though this allows us to sign a contract for the new truck we have about $50,000 worth of equipment we'll need for it. Please, if you can, keep sending in donations for this extra equipment.

NWVFR Announces 2020 Capital Fund Drive

This year we are conducting a capital fund drive in order to raise funds to purchase a new vehicle to replace our 2005 Rescue/Engine. It is imperative that we have emergency vehicles that we trust will be able to respond and perform their task when called upon. Our Rescue/Engine is a dual purpose emergency vehicle that carries fire suppression equipment and extrication tools for persons trapped in vehicle accidents, farm mishaps, and industrial emergencies. In 2005 the present truck cost was $291,000 not counting hand tools and other required equipment. The new R/E is estimated to cost $500,000 as new safety standards for emergency vehicles are required by OSHA and NFPA. We feel we can keep the price lower than what's been estimated by focusing on "function not flashy". It's important that we keep in mind that these are donated and tax dollars.

Presently out truck committee is working on the specifications for the new vehicle and our hope is to have a contract signed by year's end. However, there is much work to be done before we get to that point. Very few volunteer organizations have the funds to purchase these vehicles. Most are purchased with loans or lease's that run 15 years. We feel in order to manage the payments we need $100,000 as a down payment. Presently we have $30,205 in our truck fund.

We will continue our regular fund raisers which include hall rental, boot drives, on line yard sales, residential fund drive letters, and others. As part of our RFD we will be touching base with many of the National and International businesses in our first due area to ask for their assistance in this monumental task. Donations can be made on line by clicking the link above. We are an IRS 501c3 nonprofit organization and your donation is tax deductible. FIN-1856836

As always we appreciate the support of your local fire department.

To all our friends and supporters of North Warren Fire and Rescue,

the board of directors has decided not to hold our July and August pancake breakfasts. 

This decision was made after evaluating related income versus expenses which revealed

very little profit the first half of this year.  We will be discussing the status of this and

other fundraising efforts at our next membership meeting.  As always, we greatly appreciate

the community's continued support of our organization as we move forward.
