Haines Volunteer Fire Department








Haines Volunteer Fire Department, 217 Haines Highway, Haines, Alaska. Volunteer fire service in Haines started about 1910 with in-house built apparatus. Sometime in the late 1950's they built a fire station (I assume this one). In 1960 the town of Haines combined with the next door town of Port Chilkoot as did their respective fire departments, closing the Port Chilkoot station. In the 1970's the HVFD started providing ambulance service.
