Port Allen Volunteer Fire Department

Port Allen Volunteer Fire Department The Facebook home of the Port Allen Volunteer Fire Department. And thus, The Port Allen Volunteer Fire Department was established.

On January 4, 1918 a devastating fire destroyed what was at that time the riverfront business district of the Village of Port Allen. Because Port Allen had no fire department, the fire was extinguished only because of the efforts of the Baton Rouge Fire Department, which sent units across the river on the ferry, and by a fireboat sent by Standard Oil, now known as Exxon/Mobil. In March of 1935, al

most 82 years ago, a group of citizens, still concerned at the lack of any fire protection in the Town of Port Allen, decided to form the first fire department in West Baton Rouge Parish. Since that time, and endless group men and women, your fellow neighbors and citizens, have volunteered their time and talent to serve our community. In 1953 the PAVFD began responding to fires in all areas of West Baton Rouge Parish. In 1955, Port Allen established the parish’s first career fire department and since that time our volunteers have continued to work with the career firefighters to provide fire, rescue, and emergency medical service to the citizens of Port Allen and the surrounding area which encompasses WBR Fire Subdistrict No. 3.
