The Cordova Ladies Auxiliary

The Cordova Ladies Auxiliary has proudly supported the Cordova Volunteer Firemen’s Association, Inc. since its formation in May 1949. With 22 charter members at its founding and membership quickly growing, the Auxiliary has played a vital role in strengthening both the department and the community it serves.

While Auxiliary members are not operational firefighters, their dedication behind the scenes has helped sustain CVFA for generations.

1. Incident & Event Support

During extended incidents, community events, and department functions, the Auxiliary provides food, drinks, and logistical support to keep members fueled and ready. From fireground rehab to community gatherings, their support helps ensure firefighter safety and morale.

2. Fundraising for the Future

Fundraising has always been part of Cordova’s story — from early carnivals to today’s events. The Ladies Auxiliary continues that tradition by organizing and supporting activities that generate funds for:

• Equipment and apparatus needs
• Protective gear and firefighter safety items
• Training and educational resources
• Firehouse improvements
• Special projects that enhance service to the community

Their efforts help ensure CVFA can continue delivering fire, rescue, and EMS services with pride and professionalism.

3. Supporting Our Members & Families

The Auxiliary plays a compassionate and meaningful role in supporting CVFA members by:

• Assisting with meals during major incidents or long training days
• Helping coordinate department celebrations and ceremonies
• Providing comfort and assistance to members and their families during times of need

Their support strengthens the family bond that has defined Cordova since 1926.

4. Community Connection

The Cordova Ladies Auxiliary helps maintain the strong relationship between CVFA and the residents of Cordova and the surrounding communities by:

• Participating in local events and parades
• Supporting Fire Prevention activities
• Assisting with department open houses and Country Fair activities
• Promoting safety awareness throughout the community

For more than 75 years, the Auxiliary has been an important part of CVFA’s growth and success — and their dedication continues to be greatly appreciated.
