This is a snapshot of our original constitution/bylaws that were constructed when the department was organized in 1948. Although many things have changed the purpose hasn’t!

The Grottoes Volunteer Fire Department (GVFD) was organized in 1948 with the objective of providing fire protection to the Town of Grottoes and the surrounding communities of Augusta and Rockingham Counties. GVFD is a volunteer fire department operating as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serviced by a group of devoted volunteers comprised of local citizens from your community. Our members share many of the same responsibilities you have including families, full time jobs and personal hobbies, but still are able to give back to their community.
