WHO WE ARE
The Alabama Association of Volunteer Fire Departments (AAVFD) serves as the voice for Alabama's volunteer firefighters. Our office is centrally located in Montgomery, Alabama so that we can keep track of legislation that impacts your ability to field a safe and effective fire crew. We believe that by promoting training, information exchange, and mutual aid among our member departments, we not only improve the safety of the firefighter, but the quality of protection provided to the communities we serve. Probably the best indicator of the effectiveness of the fire service in this state is the increasing number of lower Insurance Service Office (ISO) ratings found throughout the state.

The Alabama Association of Volunteer Fire Departments (AAVFD) was organized in 1977 to provide common ground for the interests of the volunteer fire fighters in the state and to have a means for putting those interests forward to the public and interested agencies. Since only about 5 % of all departments have a majority of paid personnel. The remaining departments have 50% or more volunteer personnel and of these, some 87% are members of the AAVFD.

The AAVFD currently has six Honor Guard units for ceremonies, funerals, parades, etc., and all six units are operational, they will be assigned to serve North, Northeast; Northwest; East-Central, Southeast; and Southwest Alabama. We currently have Forty members state- wide. Membership for Honor Guard is open to association members by submission of an application to the AAVFD office.
