A volunteer fire department (VFD) is an organization of firefighters who have joined forces
to perform fire suppression and other related emergency services for a local jurisdiction. According
to the National Volunteer Fire Council, 73 percent of firefighters in the United States are members
of VFDs.
 The term “volunteer” contrasts with career firefighters who are full-time firefighters,
working organized shifts, usually based in a centrally located firehouse. Some volunteer
departments may operate as parts of a combination system, where paid firefighters also provide
emergency services.
The term “volunteer” may also be used in reference to a group of part-time or on-call
firefighters who may have other occupations when not engaged in occasional firefighting. Although
they may have “volunteered” to become members, and to respond to the call for help, they are
compensated as employees during the time they are responding or attending an emergency scene,
and possibly even for training drills.
In the United Kingdom there are almost no separate volunteer fire departments, but part-
time members of fire brigades who man smaller, often rural, stations are known as retained
firefighters.
