Everyone Goes Home
The Brownsville Volunteer Fire Department, founded in 1958, is a fully volunteer, not-for-profit organization located in the northern Black Hills of western South Dakota.
The department's mission is to provide services to our community through protection of life, property, and valuable resources.
The Brownsville Volunteer Fire Department protects a community of approximately 712 primary structures within its 100 square mile fire district.
We also participate in Mutual Aid agreements with the surrounding Fire Districts within Lawrence County to support all areas in case extra resources are needed.
Donations are always welcome and appreciated. 75% of our funding comes from private donors. In 2023, we received donations from 153 supporters. Thanks to all!
In 2023, we upgraded our PPE for our firefighters. In 2024, we purchased a 2015 Water Tanker to convert to a Fire Tender. We now have to build our funds back up so we can further upgrade equipment.
