Welcome to the Arbutus VFD Family. Thank You for your interest in joining us.
​
Shared below is our new membership process. We recommend that you read through the entire application form. We have made a few updates to the application and the onboarding process.

Fill out the application and all the associated paper work and return it to the AVFD. It is highly recommended that you visit our firehouse prior to submitting the application. This visit will help you decide if your future goals match what we offer at the AVFD.  After your application has been reviewed, you will be contacted by a member of our membership committee to appear for an interview. This is a good time to ask specific questions about our firehouse and our policies and procedures. Please review the FAQ listed before you start on the application.
​
If you have any questions about the application process, please call us at (410) 242-6601 or sent us an email to new.applications(@)arbutusvfd.org. 
Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Dept.
