Speak Kindly of Your Volunteer Fire Department is an album released by Robert Pollard and Doug Gillard in 1999. For the album, Gillard recorded instrumental tracks for songs Bob had written (along with contributing four instrumentals of his own), to which Bob later added vocals.
The two would collaborate again in 2003 under the moniker The Lifeguards with the album Mist King Urth; this time, however, Gillard composed all the instrumentals himself, with Pollard adding lyrics and vocals.
