About Hartly Volunteer Fire Company
Hartly Volunteer Fire Company brings volunteer fire protection, rescue, and ambulance service to Hartly and the surrounding response area. It also runs an Ambulance Club that covers hospital transportation for members at no additional charge, which is the kind of practical help people remember when they need it most. Add in hall rentals, catered events, and a steady call for local volunteers, and you get a place that feels built around the day-to-day life of the community it serves.
What sets Hartly Volunteer Fire Company apart is how much of local life passes through it. One day it is responding to fire alarms or ambulance calls, the next it is hosting weddings, reunions, or a fundraiser in the Memorial Hall. Its history goes back to 1926, and that long local presence still shapes how it serves the surrounding response area today.
