Welcome to Monelison Volunteer Fire Department. We are part of the Monelison Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad, Inc. This corporation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

I invite you to check our website often for updates and to see some of the jobs we do for those in need. If you have any comments or questions, please contact the webmaster.

The Monelison Volunteer Fire Department is a completely volunteer department that serves the southern portion of Amherst County, from Lynchburg, North Faulconerville and from Agricola, East Stapleton as our first due territory. We are also responsible for providing mutual aid assistance to Amherst, Pedlar, Big Island, Gladstone, Piney River, Campbell County and Lynchburg on a as needed basis. We now have a Junior Firefighter program to allow folks as young as 16 years old to join our department.

Our members are your neighbors, friends, co-workers and fellow citizens. They spend many countless hours away from family and friends responding to calls and conducting department business and training.

The fire service is rich in tradition and based around "brotherhood" and comradery. If you are interested in becoming part of this tradition we urge you to contact us for further.

Thank you,
Richard Hunter
Fire Chief
