Farmville Fire Department
Protecting the Heart of Virginia since 1870
Mission Statement
Through professionalism, dedication, integrity, and training The Farmville Fire Department will work to safeguard the lives and property and enhance the quality of life of the people in our community. This will be accomplished by providing a vast range of emergency services, strong public relations, and fire safety education.
The Farmville Fire Department is a full-service public safety agency providing services to the Town of Farmville, Virginia and to the surrounding areas in portions of Prince Edward, Cumberland, and Buckingham Counties. This growing, yet historic community in the “Heart of Virginia” is a regional hub for commerce, industry, and tourism. Farmville is home to Longwood University, Green Front Furniture, Southside Community Hospital and the Farmville Regional Airport.
The Department’s 45 volunteer members provide fire suppression, education, and prevention services to the nearly 10,000 people in our first due area from our station located in downtown Farmville. In addition, the department’s Special Operations Unit, the only one of its kind for nearly 50 miles, provides response to and mitigation of incidents involving hazardous materials, suspected terrorist or criminal activity, and when specialized services are requested by other agencies.
