Protecting the Southern Black Hills

The Custer Volunteer Fire Department is an all-volunteer crew of neighbors who respond to fires, medical emergencies, vehicle crashes and rescues. From Leo Harbach Station in downtown Custer, we cover 400 square miles, including the City of Custer, Custer County, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse Memorial and Jewel Cave National Monument.

We also help residents stay safe year-round with burn permits, fire ban updates and fireworks rules for the city and county. New members are always welcome: no experience is needed, and the department provides training and gear.

Help Build Our New Fire Station

CVFD has launched a Capital Campaign to replace our aging station, and the project is shovel ready. $600,000 is already committed toward our $3.9 million goal, and $3.3 million is still needed. Every gift, large or small, moves us closer to construction.
