Volunteers
save the community and state millions of dollars every year. With changing
life styles and busier schedules, it is becoming more and more difficult
to provide adequate protection in the community.
Still,
we struggle to run the operations of the fire company.Annual
donations and results from fund raisers become less reliable each year.
RVFD is operating with four vehicles over twenty years old, two of which
have been refurbished, which was more economically feasible than purchasing
new equipment.We need
your help.

us today if you'd like to make a difference in our community.
