How You Can Help

When you see our trucks rolling out, you’re seeing your support in action. While the Anderson County Fire Protection Commission provides our volunteer department with two fire engines and limited taxpayer funding, the rest of our equipment, including a rescue truck with the Jaws of Life, our 2,000-gallon tanker (used to supply water in areas without hydrants), a brush truck (for fighting grass and wildland fires), and even our fire station, are purchased and maintained thanks to your donations.

The Whitefield Volunteer Fire Department would like to THANK YOU for your continuous support over the last 50+ years! Without your generosity, our success would not be possible! Our VOLUNTEERS take great pride in providing a professional level of service to our community. Over the past year we have responded to over 330 incidents. With the increased demand for emergency services and static taxpayer funding, your support remains crucial!

We are asking for YOUR HELP to ensure we can continue to offer our community the very best. With your support, we will continue to maintain and improve our facilities, apparatus and equipment to provide the highest quality of service for every response.

You may donate through our PAYPAL or VENMO buttons above, or checks may be made payable and mailed to:
