How you can help us:

Arab Water Works: Add a voluntary monthly contribution to your Arab Water Works bill. Use a Water Works Donation Form and Home Survey Form by clicking the button below, complete the forms and send them to the fire department or drop it in the mail slot - we’ll take care of the rest. The monthly contributions allow the department to plan and budget accordingly. A donation of as little as $3.00 a month goes a long way in helping the department.
Private donation: The department is pleased to accept private donations if you prefer. You can mail them to the department, drop them in the department’s mailbox, or call (256) 582-4154 to make arrangements for a pick-up.
Fundraisers: The department schedules several a year - all events will be listed on our website, advertised in the local newspapers, and announced on area radio stations.
Volunteers: We always need volunteers, and not just firefighters. We welcome anyone who can help us maintain the facilities and equipment, raise funds, talk with the public, perform administrative tasks - just about anything. Call Chief Edmonds at (256) 582-4154. We look forward to hearing from you.
GMVFD Business Meetings: The meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at the 2485 Georgia Mountain Road station, and start at 7:00PM. The public is invited to attend and be involved with their fire department.
