Most importantly, volunteering with OVFD gives you the opportunity to be a local hero. You’ll become a trusted part of a respected organization with a long-standing tradition of service. If you’re looking for a way to give back, grow personally, and be part of something bigger than yourself, we invite you to step up and join the Onancock Volunteer Fire Department.
