Donate To Our Volunteers
The relationship between fire departments and their respective communities has always been a critical alliance. Without the generous support of citizens, businesses, and civic groups in the Molalla community, the Molalla Volunteer Firefighters Association would not be able to provide the standard of service the community has grown to expect in the last 100 years.
Molalla Fire Department is 96% volunteer based and all of our volunteer firefighters, EMT’s, Paramedics, and Rehab Support Staff, must be properly trained, certified, and equipped. To ensure these men and women are fully prepared to serve their communities, grants and financial support from the community are used for the vast majority of operating expenses, including:
- Purchasing fire and medical apparatus and equipment
- Outfitting our volunteer firefighter’s – full gear for 1 firefighter has risen over $5,600 as of 2024
- Supporting public safety initiatives – Annual Open House, National Night Out, Fire Prevention Week for the schools
- Providing emergency medical services to community events – First Aid booth at the annual Molalla Buckeroo and standby at sporting events
- Giving back to the community – Operation Santa Annual Canned Food Drive, ODF Annual Auction benefiting the Molalla Service Center, Sports Team Sponsorships
By supporting the Molalla Volunteer Firefighters Association, you will be doing your part to provide emergency and non-emergency services that protect the lives and property of your neighbors in Molalla and the citizens of Clackamas County.

About the Volunteer Association and meet our Officers
Molalla Fire Volunteer Association was formed in 1924 to provide a legal nonprofit entity for the various public functions the volunteers participated in, such as the Molalla Buckeroo. The Association works as an independent 501(c)3 entity and has a board that over sees the administrative functions of the Association.
After completing a one-year probation period with the Molalla Fire District, all volunteers can join the Association and become voting members, provided they maintain good standing with the Fire District.
In addition to the minimum required training and emergency response requirements, the Association members are tasked with organizing events and fundraising to support the Volunteers, Fire District, and our community. There is a considerable amount of time spent on organizing these events which include our Annual 4th of July Parade, Annual Open House, Fire Prevention Week, Operation Santa food drive, and ODF Annual Auction.
