About Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firefighters Association

Over One hundred years ago, fire chiefs from the States of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia met in Chambersburg, PA for the purpose of adopting a uniform hose coupling and to develop a mutual aid system along the Cumberland Valley Railroad.  Today, the CVVFA connects experts from around the country and develops new training and resources for firefighters and the entire responder community.
