Thank you for visiting the Nebraska State
Volunteer Firefighters Association website.
The NVFC “Individual Assistance Application” is an
application for funds established by the National Volunteer
Fire Council to assist active volunteer firefighters, rescue
workers and EMS personnel whose home/housing has been
impacted by a state or federally declared disaster. NSVFA
members’ dues help support the NSVFA membership in the
National Volunteer Fire Council which has resulted in this
benefit being offered to NSVFA department members that may
have suffered a financial loss due to the recent storms.
Individuals must meet certain criteria as outlined on the
application and the applications must be signed by the chief
of the applicant’s department and are to be reviewed and
signed by the applicant’s state fire association NVFC
Director which is Mr. Norman Hoeft of David City for the
NSVFA.
Persons meeting the criteria outlined in the application and
who desire to apply, may print the application from the NVFC
web site at
http://nvfc.org/index.php?id=813 or call the NSVFA
office for a copy. Completed applications require approval
(by signature) of the chief of the person’s department and
the completed application should be returned “for review” to
Mr. Norman Hoeft or Mr. John Bomar, NSVFA NVFC
Representative and Alternate Representative respectively,
whose addresses and phone numbers appear below. After their
review, they will submit the applications to the NVFC.
Questions may also be addressed to Norman or John.
