==Department Profile==
The Fincastle Volunteer Fire Department is a volunteer fire department in the Town of Fincastle in Botetourt County, Virginia. The Town of Fincastle had a population of 755 during the 2020 US census. The department was organized in 1947 and operates out of one station that is shared with career EMS staff employed by Botetourt County Fire & EMS. The department merged with the Fincastle Volunteer Rescue Squad in 2016 and provided emergency medical services in a supplemental capacity until circa 2020. The rescue squad previously operated as a separate entity since its founding in 1979. The department serves approximately 6,000 residents over 115 square miles and provides mutual aid to other parts of Botetourt County, as well as Craig County. The department is staffed solely by volunteers, although career EMS staff are cross-trained as firefighters and assist as required. The department responds to over 300 calls annually.
