The NVVFD Auxiliary is an active arm of the Fire Department. Members can participate in all or a few of the following activities:
  • Support the Fire Department at active fires and major accidents. Members provide water and Gatorade to firemen and EMT's on site.
  • Auction Support consists of working in the tent during the month of September sorting clothes, categorizing books, sports equipment, toys, white elephant tent items, etc. Members staff the auction areas the day of the auction.
  • Conducting fund raising events such as the Soup Contest and the Election Day Bake Sale.
  • Preparing the stockings and acting as Santa's elves for Operation Santa.

    •      SOUP CONTEST
    Every March and October, the Auxiliary sponsors a Soup Contest. Contestants bring a soup for attendees to sample. All attendees are allowed to vote for their favorite soup. Everyone is invited to attend. There is no age limit for participation in the contest. Prizes are awarded for the top 6 soups. Admission fee for all attendees is $5.00. This includes assorted soup and bread. Beverages and desserts can be purchased separately.  Bring the whole family!
