The Raphine Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. is a 100% volunteer department located in Rockbridge County, VA. We operate out of one station which is located near Exit 205 of Interstate 81. Our primary response area covers approximately 88 square miles of Rockbridge and Augusta Counties with fire and emergency medical services being provided to a population of around 9000. This first due response area includes the towns of Raphine, Vesuvius, Steeles Tavern, Spottswood, Greenville, Lofton, Newport, and Brownsburg. The area covered is primarily rural but also contains a wide variety of commercial properties near the interstate. In addition to housing our apparatus, the firehouse has a large community room and kitchen that can be rented for many types of events and that also can be used as an emergency shelter when needed. Our monthly meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 7:30PM. If you are interested in membership, feel free to stop by and speak with a member or pick up an application beforehand!
