Operating a volunteer fire department requires the cooperation of all of our members, as well as the community at large. Our organization is a diverse group of people with different genders, ethnicity, nationalities and ages. Much of this diversity is thanks to the students at Maine Maritime Academy who volunteer their free time with the department. Those members who come from the community of Castine are also a diverse group with differing backgrounds, skills and experiences. The fire service does not require everyone to wear an air pack and enter burning buildings; there are many different jobs, to go around. Consequently, CVFD has a place for everyone.
The best way to join our team is to speak with a member of the Department and to get a "feel" for what it is we do. Or, you can contact the Fire Station at 326-8767 and leave a message. One of our members will get in contact with you.
The public is welcome at our weekly meetings. We meet at the Fire Station, which is located on Court Street, Tuesday nights at 6 PM. Our schedule is as follows:
