Boonsboro Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company

is located in Bedford County, VA on U.S. 501N adjoining the City of Lynchburg. We serve a primarily residential and rural territory which includes several miles of U.S. 501. Founded in 1961 as Boonsboro Volunteer Fire Company, Inc., we changed to our current name in 1989 with the addition of the Rescue Division. We have a common Board of Directors composed of members of the community plus the top

two officers from each division. We have over 30 volunteers operating six pieces of fire suppression apparatus, including a new 2019 tanker with 3,000 gallons of water, a 2015 Pierce Velocity fire engine, a 2006 Spartan Heavy Rescue/Pumper, a 2003 Acela 6x6 Brush Truck with 1000 gallons of water, one Ford F-450 4x4 brush truck, two ambulances, a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria EMS First Responder car, a 2003 Ford F-350 4x4 crew cab Utility pickup, a 2009 Chevrolet Suburban that is the command vehicle. We provide Fire, EMS/Ambulance and Rescue services. On average, we run about 400 calls a year, the bulk of which are Medical services. We moved into our current building in 1990 from the old station which still stands at the corner of Mill Lane Road and US 501. The new building consists of eight fire bays and three rescue bays. The center section which separates the bays, includes the Chief's office, Secretary's office, Rescue Captain's office, vestibule and a main meeting room. Behind the meeting room are restrooms, a kitchen and lounge area. A hallway behind the kitchen connects the bays and divides the front area from a second smaller meeting room and several storage areas at the back of the building. The land for the station was donated by the Bedford County School Board. We are always looking for new volunteers. While training in fire and/or rescue is preferred, we accept people of all ages with any level of experience who are willing to learn and serve our community. There are many volunteer opportunities to serve in our organization such as emergency vehicle operator, fire fighter, emergency medical technician, and more! If you are interested in volunteering with us, donating, or have any general questions, please contact us by either phone or email using the contact information provided and an officer will respond to your inquiry as soon as possible. Stay safe out there!
