Firefighter — skip the Airbnb & hotel. Volunteer department? Turn your firehouse into a fundraiser.
Curious? Stay Informed. ↓You're a firefighter passing through town. Instead of a hotel, you stay at a firehouse. You get it. They get you. And your money goes straight to a volunteer department that needs it.
Your volunteer department is stretched thin. Open your doors to traveling firefighters and turn your firehouse into a fundraiser — every booking puts money directly into your department.
Can't make the trip? Book a stay you'll never take. Your money goes to the department — and they re-rent the bed. You support a firehouse. They earn twice. Everyone wins.
There are over 18,800 all-volunteer fire departments in America protecting communities that can't afford career firefighters. Their ranks have dropped by 200,000 since 1995. Federal grants cover just 7% of what departments request. Equipment is aging. Rosters are shrinking. And these firefighters don't get paid a dime. FireStaytion is a simple idea: let firefighters stay at firehouses when they travel, and turn every booking into direct funding for volunteer departments.
