Invest in the future of the Seward Volunteer Fire Department.
Seward Volunteer Fire Fund (SVFD) established this non-endowed agency fund with ACF to provide equipment, public education, fire prevention initiatives, capital projects, personnel expenses, or other necessary causes.
ON A MISSION
We are dedicated to the preservation of life and property through prevention, education, and emergency response.
SVFD responds to over 300+ calls each year. We respond to medical emergencies, fires, water rescues, mountain rescues, and more. Our fleet of apparatus consists of 3 engines, 1 Quint, 1 light rescue/mini pumper, 1 heavy rescue, 2 command trucks, 1 Jeep/squad, and a fire boat.
While SVFD officially provides services within Seward City Limits, we also provide mutual aid responses to three neighboring departments: Bear Creek, Moose Pass, and Lowell Point. The population of the service area is approximately 3,500, though the population can swell to nearly 10,000 during the summer months.
We operate a combination department of three full-time staff, supplemented with volunteer responders. We have over 25 members in our ranks, which include auxiliary volunteers.
