Pikeville Volunteer Fire Department
Our Mission
Our mission is to protect lives, property, and the environment while serving our community with courage, commitment, and compassion.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a progressive organization that leads the community in public safety – the service we provide will be of the highest quality afforded to the citizens.

The Pikeville Volunteer Fire Department (PVFD) responded to about 124 calls for emergency service in 2022, providing both fire and emergency medical services to our citizens. PVFD personnel also provided emergency medical services to the citizens outside the Pikeville City limits, along with mutual aid fire protection to our neighboring departments. The Pikeville Volunteer Fire Department is an active member of two Mutual Aid Organizations. When requested by another county fire department, Pikeville Fire responds to any emergency scene in Bledsoe County through the Bledsoe County Fire Mutual Aid Association. In addition, the Pikeville Volunteer Fire Department is a member of the Sequatchie Valley Mutual Aid Association composed of 10 other Cities stretching all the way to South Pittsburg. As a member of both organizations, the department can either request aid or send aid in the form of apparatus, equipment, and manpower depending on the need and severity of the emergency.
