In Greece, volunteer firefighting was established by law in 1991. Today, there are 2000 unsalaried volunteer firefighters and their only motive is their faith in the idea of volunteering, the love for what they do and their will to offer to their fellow citizen in a time of need. Most volunteers are young people, employees in the private or public sector as well as unemployed people and most of them have families and children. Volunteer Firefighters are considered as unsalaried firefighting employees of the Hellenic Fire Service with duties similar to that of paid firefighters.

The Union of Hellenic Fire Service Volunteers was founded in 2008 with the purpose of representing and promoting Greek Volunteer Firefighters nationally and internationally in an effort for Greece to reach the level of most modern and developed countries where volunteer firefighters are accepted and welcomed by citizens and government authorities. The Union of Hellenic Fire Service Volunteers is a representative organization with national and international action, representing and protecting the rights & interests of volunteer firefighters and promoting volunteer unpaid fire and rescue services to society at large, both nationally and internationally.
