SUBSCRIPTION

 What is the Subscription Program? 

Clear Creek Volunteer Fire Department (CCVFD) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. All of our Firefighters are unpaid volunteers who graciously volunteer their time to train, to respond, and to keep the organization functioning safely and with the best coverage they can provide.  Most of our volunteers even have full-time jobs.

CCVFD is a subscription fire agency.  This means that CCVFD does not receive funding from annual property taxes, but instead must rely on donations, the occasional equipment grants, and annual subscription payments from the community in order to continue providing fire fighting and related public safety services. 

 What does my Subscription Pay For?

Subscriptions end up paying for things like:

• Station maintenance & utility fees

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• Vehicle fuel, maintenance, insurance, upgrades & compliance, and annual inspections

• Equipment maintenance, repair, & inspections

• Training materials and classes

Without this funding, the fire department would have to either change to a taxing district, or worst-case scenario, close its doors.  Closing the doors would likely result in increased homeowners insurance costs, which are heavily tied to fire department response times and certifications.

When you pay your subscription each year, it puts you in good standing.  Beyond feeling good for supporting your local fire department, a member in good standing gets the following benefits:

• Ability to vote in Board member elections. (This normally happens during our annual meeting)

• We won't send you a bill if we end up on your property!  Yes, the Fire Department is authorized by Idaho State Statute to issue an invoice to you and your insurance company to cover the costs of responding to an incident at your property.  To be clear:  If you do not pay, that does not mean we will not respond to your property.  It just means that you will get a bill if we respond and you are not a paid member.
