The Stafford Volunteer Fire Department is committed to the safety and education of the communities it serves.  The most effective way to prevent the tragedy of fires and other injuries is to educate the public on their causes and to introduce strategies in dealing with these emergencies.

Our goal is to provide every citizen within our district the highest level of life safety awareness available. We will continually work to spread the message of fire prevention, safety awareness and public education to all members of the community.  Please contact the Life Safety Education Division at (540) 658-5332 with questions or concerns.

If interested in scheduling an event, please click on the link below and fill out the Public Service Request form with the details of your event.  The Life Safety Education Division will then contact you to schedule your event.
