Volunteer Firefighter and Marine Rescue Team Member

The Melbourne Beach Volunteer Fire Department is a small, single station department located in the Town of Melbourne Beach, Florida. We respond to approximately 200 calls for service each year, as well as host and participate in many community events.

All of our volunteer firefighters are State Certified to the Firefighter 1 level, and many of our members have gone on to obtain their Firefighter level 2 certification. Additionally, all volunteer firefighters are trained to respond to wild fires, vehicle accidents, and other emergencies.

The MBVFD is home to multiple fire/rescue apparatus including Engine 58, Engine 258, Squad 58 and District 58. Each vehicle plays an important role in our ability to fight fires and perform rescues.

While our station does not routinely run EMS (medical) calls, we are occasionally called upon on to assist the local EMS transport agency. All of our Department’s volunteers are required to take First Responder training, as well as maintain their BLS CPR certifications. In addition, we have members that have chosen to take their training further and are State Certified EMTs and Paramedics.

Another one of our primary roles is marine rescue. We specialize in ocean and river rescue, and we respond to marine rescue calls throughout the southern half of Brevard County. Our station is home to ATV 58, Marine 58 (larger river rescue boat), and Marine 258 (Jet Ski).

The MBVFD continually recruits men and women in and around the community to serve as volunteer firefighters and fill open spots in our roster.
