About

Neighbors, answering the call since 1911.

Hamilton VFD has served this community for well over a century. We're a volunteer organization — every member holds a regular job and drops it, day or night, when the tone goes off.

Keeping our community safe is something we take seriously. Members train regularly for structure fires, wildland fire, vehicle accidents, and medical emergencies, so we're ready before the call ever comes in.
