The Mayberry Volunteer Fire Department is mentioned in several episodes, but never seen as far as I recall. When Jubal-Jubal-Jubal Foster's barn burned down, Andy asked why he didn't call the volunteer fire brigade; in Andy Saves Gomer, Aunt Bee tells Andy that they're having a boiled dinner at the fire station with cribbage afterward; in The Case of the Punch in the Nose (I think that's the one) Andy tells Barney that old Sheriff's records are stored in the basement of the firehouse; and in Goodbye, Sheriff Taylor, Judd and Goober discuss the time a garbage truck collided with a hook-and-ladder (fire truck) at 4th and Main. There are probably other mentions as well.
