The mission behind Social FD
Every department
Every department
deserves a voice.
A department’s connection with its community matters long before the next emergency call. Fire prevention, recruitment, fundraising, and public trust all depend on people hearing your story.
Social FD helps nonprofit volunteer fire departments share that story through practical communication tools and useful content.
Support from donors, sponsors, and our fundraising activities helps us make those services available free to eligible departments.

Who can request free department support?
Nonprofit volunteer fire departments can apply. Social FD reviews eligibility and discusses each department’s needs before setting up services.
What happens after our department signs up?
We contact your department to discuss its goals, confirm eligibility, and explain the next steps. Start with the signup page.
Why does Social FD sell trading cards?
Trading card sales are one way we raise funds to help provide free communication services to volunteer fire departments. They also give our community a way to connect around fire service history and collecting.
