Cosby Volunteer Fire Department

Cosby Volunteer Fire Department CVFD has proudly provided fire protection & rescue services to approximately 100 square miles of Cosby, TN since August 23, 1986.

On December 7, 1985, approximately 90 people were in attendance for a meeting that was held at Cosby High School to determine the need for a volunteer fire department. The Cosby Ruritan Club sponsored this meeting. Plans were made & fundraising began to help bring the new fire department to the area. On August 23, 1986, Cosby Volunteer Fire Department was officially established with 25 firefighter

s & 1 used 1955 Ford engine purchased from Sullivan County. Later, we added a 1958 Ford engine & also purchased old school buses from the county in which we turned into tankers. In the past 30 years, we have expanded to 4 stations: Station 1 next to Cosby School (our original station), Station 2 next to Cosby Post Office, Station 3 in the Edwina community and Station 4 near the National Guard Armory. We now have 2 mini pumpers, 3 tankers, & 4 engines. Our jaws of life & other rescue equipment is currently housed on our new 2008 Ford F550 mini pumper. Our ISO rating is currently a 6, & we are very proud of that! We currently have approximately 40 +/- firefighters, & cadet program that enlists, trains, & educates future firefighters currently under the age of 18.

Many of you may know Mr. Paul Bryant... Paul is a wonderful staple to our community and has been a dedicated member to our department since before we opened the doors (he helped build our station #1!). So if you're doing your math correctly, that's a little over 40 years of service & dedication to our community!
Unfortunately for us, Paul has made the decision that as of tomorrow/Saturday at the end of our 40th Anniversary Celebration he will officially be retiring 😔
At approximately 2:45pm tomorrow/Saturday, we plan to honor Paul & his 40+ years of service to our department. We invite you all to join us in honoring him at that time, especially if you aren't able to make it any other time!

Feel free to bring your canopies/chairs & stay with us awhile, too!

🚨🚨 If you see or talk to him before 2:45pm tomorrow/Saturday, please DO NOT mention this to him as it is a surprise! 🚨🚨
