After much review and discussion the NFVFD has made the decision that we will suspend all activities and fundraising events until further notice. This decision... is being made in response of the current COVID-19 situation. We must keep our volunteers, their families, and community as safe as possible. We will be reviewing this decision weekly in hopes of opening. We ask that you understand and support our decision. Question please call or text the event # 717.753.1152. Stay safe and well.
