About
The Bartlett Volunteer Fire Association is a not-for-profit organization that has been putting the needs of the community first for 118 years. Started by a group of 26 men on December 22, 1897 to serve the community as a volunteer firefighting force the organization did just that for many years. Firefighting duties ceased as the Bartlett Fire Protection District began to increase its tax levy and moved to a primarily full-time force in the mid 2000’s. The Fire District broke off its formal relationship with the organization in 2008.
Today the spirit of community service that burned in those 26 men is kept alive by the members of the organization who have stopped fighting fires, but not stopped serving the community or the volunteer fire service at large.
