The fire and EMS service is one of the most diverse and challenging vocations today. It is this diversity that attracts most men and women to join our ranks. Learn More

Best In Class Training

Whether you have tons of fire/ems experience or a rookie fresh to public safety, we offer numerous basic to advanced fire, rescue, EMS and leadership courses through county, state and federal programs as well as our own. These courses are free of charge to active members of the department and offer opportunity for progression through our operational roles and ranks.

Retirement & Tax Incentives

You may be a volunteer but that doesn’t mean there are not financial incentives. Active members with a volunteer fire department in the state of West Virginia receive a $1000+ tax credit for their participation.

Flexible Memberships

As firm believers in the concept that volunteers should be “good at a few things instead of poor at a lot,” we offer the most flexible membership opportunities available. You can join Clendenin VFD to just perform a specialized function or you can get involved in all of the volunteering opportunities we have to offer. Our members come from our community and throughout the region thanks to our robust offering of response services and family & friends atmosphere. Plus, scheduling is also a breeze with online calendars and shift schedules that ensure you balance your job, family and the CVFD.
