Our Mission: The Peebles District VFC strives to preserve life and property through a professional response to fire and rescue emergencies, maintain a robust focus on training, and promote a high degree of community involvement and education.
We Rely On Our Neighbors: As our area and call volume continues to grow quickly, so has our need for personnel. Simply put, we need more volunteers. If we are not able to adequately staff fire apparatus, it puts you, your family, and your neighbors in danger. We will provide all training and equipment to hardworking and dedicated individuals over the age of 15. See “New Members” tab if interested!!

Junior Program
The Peebles District Volunteer Company accepts applications from individuals that are 15-18 years old to participate in our Firefighter Apprentice Program. This program allows high school students to be trained to be fully qualified firefighters by the time they are 18 years old. Junior members are able to respond to emergency calls and participate in company-wide training, as well as participate in our new rookie training program.
The program was designed in-house by our training committee to provide junior members with a high level of structure and training. Junior members are paired with an experienced firefighter that will oversee training and act as a mentor for the firefighting apprentice. We currently have several Junior Firefighters. Several of our former Junior Firefighters converted to interior and full firefighting status last year.
We are extremely excited to recruit high school students into this program and mold them into competent and confident firefighters. For a Junior member application, see the New Members tab. Drop it by our station or give us a call for more information!
