Welcome to Crittenden Fire Hall

Crittenden Volunteer Fire Company, Inc was organized on May 7th, 1931. We were established for the protection of the residents of the fire district and the town of Alden, by contract and their property from the dangers of fire. It is also understood that the fire company may be called upon to render first aid and other assistance, during natural emergencies, as may be necessary for the preservation of life and property.

Our Mission statement is the dedication of providing public safety services to our citizens that result in improved quality of life and peace of mind. As a team, we will strive to minimize losses and suffering through emergency service delivery, public education, public information, and community service activities. We will provide our service and treat those we service in a manner that is honest, fair, and unbiased, We shall honor our heritage, actively participate in our community, and serve with integrity. We will endeavor to uphold the unique camaraderie and trust that is the Fire Service. We offer free training, retirement benefits, and a long learning experience that will never end.

CVFD mourns the loss of one of our brothers, Dennis Schweigert. Dennis was a member since 2016 and has held many positions within our department. Dennis headed up our Car Show for many years. He also served our department as a Board Member of our Fire Police, and most recently, coordinated our uniform committee.

Rest easy our brother, we'll take it from here.
