As one of only two student-involved volunteer fire departments in the country, SVFD offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Sewanee students to serve their community.

Please make plans to join us in 2027

The Fire Department Reunion scheduled for the weekend of March 27 has been postponed until the spring of 2027. A new date will be released in the coming weeks. The event in 2027 will focus on dedicating Station #2 (Jumpoff Station) in memory of Assistant Chief Doug Cameron, in gratitude for more than 50 years of service. This event will honor Doug and celebrate a brotherhood that ties Sewanee firefighters together across generations.
