The members of the Voorheesville Volunteer Fire Department welcome you to our website.


The Voorheesville Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1902. It is a 100% volunteer staffed organization providing fire suppression, emergency response, fire prevention and educational services to the denizens of the Village of Voorheesville, N.Y. The department's protective district encompasses one square mile within the village limits. The village is located approximately 15 miles southwest of the capital city of Albany N.Y. and is governed by the laws and regulations of the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services.


The department operates out of one fire station, in the village of Voorheesville. We have partnered with the following departments to provide and receive mutual aid response on an as-needed basis: New Salem Fire Department, Slingerlands Fire Department, Altamont FD and Guilderland Center Fire Department. Additionally, we receive HazMat Emergency Response mutual aid from the Albany County HazMat Response Team. The department responds to an average of 60 fire emergency calls per year.


We are always recruiting new members. Please visit the Membership page for more information.


We can't help you if we can't find you. Please make sure that your house number is visible from the street.


If you have young children at home and would like to have emergency "Tot-Finder" decals to mark their bedrooms to aid in locating and rescuing them in the event of a fire, please stop by the firehouse any Tuesday evening (7-9pm) during our weekly drills and pick up a couple.


Dial 911 for all fire and emergency calls.
