About Us
South Point Volunteer Fire Department isn't just a first responder — it's a brotherhood and sisterhood forged from a shared belief that our community deserves protection from people who genuinely care.
For over six decades, our volunteer firefighters have answered every alarm, from structure fires and vehicle accidents to medical emergencies and hazardous material calls. We train relentlessly because when the siren sounds, hesitation isn't an option.
Every shift, every call — no matter the hour or the weather.
We live here, raise families here, and choose to serve here.
Continuing education and hands-on drills keep us prepared for anything.
