Founded in 1937, Harris Hill VFC was established to protect life and property of the Clarence residents in the south west area of the town known as Harris Hill. More than seven decades later our mission remains the same. Whenever we are called out, no matter what time or day, no matter what elements cross our paths, rest assured the Harris Hill Volunteer Fire Company will always be there to protect and serve.
