Recruitment

     The Star City Volunteer Fire Department is a completely volunteer organization.  All of our calls are answered by volunteers who give up their time to help others.  Without an active membership it would be impossible for us to provide emergency services to the communities we serve.  The Star City VFD is constantly looking for new members that are interested in making a difference in the community.  Permanent resident or not, if you are interested in becoming a volunteer please contact us.  Almost half of our active membership consists of college students from West Virginia University.  There are no experience or training requirements for membership.  Please note that to become a member you must be at least 16 years old.
