The Fairfax County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association (FCVFRA) is a partnership of 12 volunteer fire and rescue departments (or "volunteer companies") in Fairfax County. Volunteers in the 12 departments are full partners with the career staff of the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department in providing emergency services in and around Fairfax County.

Operational volunteers are trained to the same standards as career personnel and are involved in all aspects of the fire and rescue services, including: staffing fire suppression vehicles in emergency situations, serving as EMTs and paramedics, domestic and international urban search and rescue, swift water rescue, providing public service in demanding times, and fire prevention.

As independent, nonprofit organizations, the volunteer departments own and/or operate 13 of 37 fire stations in Fairfax County, making volunteers active in the fundraising, community relations, and business operations of these organizations.
