The Montebello Volunteer Fire Department provides emergency services 24 hours a day. These services are not only available to the approximately 500 permanent residents in our target area, but to the thousands of visitors that travel on the Blue Ridge Parkway or camp and hike in the National Forest. Frequently the agency is called upon to support neighboring agencies. The monthly business meeting is 7PM on the second Monday and open to the public.
