To provide assistance in times of need.
SVFD Chaplains bring comfort and consolation, in a non-denominational way, to all persons in need with special emphasis on those confronted with fire, death, accidents or natural/man made disasters. SVFD Chaplains also provide guidance and counseling, and survivor support. They may also assist individuals by referring them to other care providers or agencies.
The role of the SVFD Chaplain is to be a representative of God bearing witness to His forgiving and redeeming power in accordance with 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.
