About Bristol Fire Department
Courage. Commitment.
The Bristol Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. is an independent organization of men and women dedicated to the preservation of life and property of the residents of the town of Bristol, New York. We volunteer our time, talents, and energy to advance our knowledge of fire fighting, emergency medicine, and fire prevention to improve our neighbors' standard of life.
BVFD is a not-for-profit corporation and receives funding from Federal, State and local tax revenue. We also rely on donations from private businesses and individuals, grants, and community fundraising events. Funding is used to procure and maintain vehicles, equipment and the buildings used to house this equipment.
