About WVFD

Where is Westport Volunteer Fire Department?

Westport Volunteer Fire Department is located in the beautiful town of Westport, the last stop on coastal Highway 1 in Mendocino County.

Small Department, Large Area

Westport Volunteer Fire Department may be small, 14 volunteers, but we cover a large area! Westport's service area spans 190 square miles. Including some of the most remote and rugged parts of the Mendocino Coast along the Usal portion of the Lost Coast.

Westport is always looking for help and volunteers.

Westport Volunteer Fire Department is always interested in help! Being such a small department, with such a large area, volunteers are always welcome. Westport doesn’t just need volunteer firefighters, we host a multitude of events during the year, culminating in our annual fundraiser in August. Volunteers for that event are always welcome and needed! To find out more visit us on Facebook, or check out our Contact Us by clicking the button below!
