Your safety is our prime goal!
The Gore Volunteer Fire Department (GVFD) maintains a membership of 16-20 firefighters responsible for protecting citizens and property within the town’s limits.
Gore’s ISO classification/rating is 7.* The fire department seeks to improve this rating and its service to the community and constantly looks for ways to upgrade its equipment and fire hydrant system. Members of the GVFD take advantage of special training seminars and bring their techniques to the scene when duty calls.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter, contact our fire chief or a town council member. Our firefighters often serve proudly for many years before retiring with special recognition. We greatly appreciate their brave service to our community!
Fire volunteerism is awesome!
Are you interested in joining as a volunteer in the department? We would love to have you. Please email us or give us a call to learn more!

Storm Shelter Registration
Registering your storm shelter is for safety. In the event of a tornado or other incident that might cause rubble to fall on the shelter door, keeping you from being able to evacuate the shelter, city emergency staff need to know where your shelter is located on your property.
After an incident has passed and if homes are destroyed, the emergency staff from the City will go into each of the neighborhoods to look for residents that might be blocked from exiting their shelters. The registration form lets them know where the shelter is on your property. Completing this form is about your and your family’s safety in the event of a tornado.
The information you provide is private. Only first responders, police, fire, and emergency medical services will have access to the registration information.
