Who We Are

At Toney Volunteer Fire Department, every one of us is a volunteer—but the expectations are anything but part-time. We train, certify, and respond under the same standards as our career counterparts, holding ourselves to the highest level of readiness and professionalism. Every active member is required to be certified in fireground operations, hazardous materials response, and emergency medical care. Beyond that, our firefighters continually push to learn more—through advanced coursework, company drills, and training on the latest tools and techniques in emergency services.

Our department is made up of more than 30 dedicated volunteers—men and women from every walk of life. Carpenters, doctors, students, electricians, small-business owners, and even career firefighters from other departments all come together with one purpose: to protect the lives and property of our neighbors here in Toney. Together, we embody the spirit of a community that shows up when it matters most.

What We Do

Toney Volunteer Fire Department is one of sixteen departments that stand shoulder to shoulder with EMS and Law Enforcement, in protecting Madison County. Together, we form a unified network of emergency response that ensures every call is answered, no matter where it comes from.

Our district covers more than 32 square miles and over 12,000 residents—homes, businesses, and industrial sites alike. When emergencies strike within our community, Toney responds as the “first due” company, leading the charge as the primary department responsible for the scene. Beyond our borders, we assist neighboring departments in fire suppression, rescues, and mutual aid operations—because protecting our county is a team effort built on trust, training, and service.
