UNDERCLIFF VFC AWARDED $160,000 GRANT FROM LOWE'S HOMETOWNS
Undercliff Volunteer Fire Company is extremely honored to announce that we have been selected as a 2024 Lowe's Hometowns grant recipient in the amount of $160,000! The Lowe's Hometowns program is a five-year, $100 million commitment to rebuild and revitalize community spaces nationwide.
As one of thousands of applicants and one of 100 selected community projects in 2024, the Lowe's Hometowns grant will benefit Undercliff Volunteer Fire Company to completely renovate the first and second floors of the fire station and halls. Upon completion of the project in November 2024, the first and second floor halls will have new ceilings, walls, floors, restrooms, electrical and lighting fixtures, exterior doors, paint, and so much more! The fire station and halls serve as multipurpose spaces, providing room for voting, dance classes, fundraisers, emergency shelters, hall rentals, and more. We are beyond excited to share the progress during this project as we revamp our space, and cannot wait for the grand completed reveal in November.
This is the first major renovation that our fire station has had since1986, and we could not be more grateful for this exciting opportunity. We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to our grant committee and the Lowe's Hometowns for making our dreams become reality!

115th ANNIVERSARY YEAR 1909-2024
2024 marks the 115th anniversary of Undercliff Volunteer Fire Company! In 1909, Undercliff VFC began to organize with Sam Swindell as the first Fire Chief. Our station started out in the old Braun School House as a bucket brigade until acquiring an old Hose Cart from Etna VFD which would become Undercliff's first "fire truck" in it's history. We are so proud of the history here at Undercliff VFC and the journey it has been through the years. From buying our first truck in 1923 to our new 2024 Seagrave engine coming this year, and everything in between it has been an amazing ride watching this station progress.
So many wonderful members have passed through these doors and have left their legacy on the station. We are forever grateful for all those who came before us and helped to shape Undercliff VFC into the great station it is today. We must always pay tribute to the past while also looking forward to the future. Thank you to all those members, past and present, who have served with our station and helped make Undercliff VFC what it is today!
Stay tuned for more updates! As we continue in our 115th anniversary year, we will be posting some fun historical facts and pictures to celebrate this occasion and remember all those who came before us. Thank you to all of you who continue to support our station! With your generosity and support we hope to be here for the next 115 years!
