The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company has 34 active members and 68 lifetime members. Our members are all volunteers who provide the residents of Chincoteague Island with tax-free fire suppression protection, search and rescue, and emergency medical services.
The Firemen are dedicated men and women, young and old, who work year round for the best interests of the community. Their efforts provide debt-free, modern equipment that any company would be proud of owning. The ambulance service is also part of their continuing efforts to keep the citizens and visitors safe from disasters. All during the year, the firemen are busy keeping their equipment in top-notch condition, maintaining the carnival grounds, taking care of the famous wild ponies, while still providing 24 hour emergency support service to the entire community.
Every Monday night, the firemen meet at the Firehouse to practice drill sessions or attend committee meetings. The third Monday of each month is set aside for the Company's regular meeting.
