Welcome to The Hudson Valley
Volunteer Firemen's Association

    I would like to welcome all firefighters, officers and visitors to our website and hope the information you search for will be found within the confines of our pages.  The Hudson Valley Volunteer Fireman’s Association (HVVFA) very proud of its history and heritage and we have tried to reflect this pride in the pages of our site.  This association is one of eight sectional organizations within the State of New York. The HVVFA represents volunteer firefighters from as far south as Rockland and Westchester counties and as far north as Essex County.  Within these sixteen counties that make up our association there are some  very urban areas with departments that make up to three thousand runs a year to some very rural farm and wilderness areas of the state that might have no more than forty runs a year.  Each of these areas faces some the same issues in addition to some very unique challenges to overcome.  As an association of firefighters from all over the eastern part of New York we recognize these situations and try to make sure every voice is heard with regards to the issues that face the modern volunteer firefighter.

    If you are looking for information about our association or just looking to purchase items from our on line store, please look over our web site and if you have any questions or comments about our page please feel free to contact me, Thomas McKinney as President or any of the other members of the Web Site Committee.  The committees and their members are listed on our page for your convenience.  .  If there is something that we can not help you with we have access to additional resources through FASNY and other state organizations to make sure you are put in contact with the appropriate person to assist you in finding the information you need to be a better volunteer firefighter and officer.

    If you would like information on becoming a member, getting your company or department a membership or in becoming a corporate sponsor of our association please download the membership application and submit it to our Financial Secretary.  All Corporate Memberships are now going through our Publication Committee to assist us in offsetting the cost of printing the paper.

    Again let me close by welcoming you to our site and anything we can do to be of service to you please let us know.  We are very excited at this opportunity to serve you better and enhance your firefighting experience. 

Thomas McKinney 
President HVVFA
