The Urbana Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company is a combination fire department. Simply put we are a fire department consisting of both career staff and volunteer members. The benefit to the community of having a combination station is emergency service coverage 24/7, which in turn provides a better Insurance Service Office (ISO) rating for the community.

Career staff assigned to the station consists of an officer (Captain or Lieutenant), a technician (driver for the truck/engine), two firefighter/emergency medical technicians, and a paramedic. The career staff handles all daily operations of the fire station and provides the minimal staffing required when responding to an emergency.

Volunteer members of our station respond to an emergency call as staffing to fulfill the additional needs and requirements of an emergency. The volunteer members receive the same level of training as the career staff and operate in the same capacity. The volunteer members of our station are true volunteers and are not compensated for their time.
