We have been very lucky at BVFD with increasing our memberships. Kate and Trevor are our newest members.

Trevor has dreamed of becoming a firefighter since he was very young. He doesn't say much, but his smile and eagerness is contagious. He is always willing to help wherever he can.

Kate comes to us with an extensive medical background with a lot of knowledge to share with BVFD. She is eager to get certified for our First Response team but in the meantime Kate is always lending a hand.
