🚒☀️ POOL FILLING NOTICE ☀️🚒

With warmer weather arriving and many pools beginning to open for the summer season, Clover Volunteer Fire Department would like to share an important reminder with our community.

Unfortunately, Clover Volunteer Fire Department is unable to fill swimming pools using fire hydrants or fire apparatus due to liability concerns and the risk of damage to pools and liners.

While hydrant and tanker water may appear clean, the high-volume flow and conditions inside water mains and fire equipment can introduce contaminants and debris capable of causing costly damage.

⚠️ Possible contaminants and risks include:

🔹 Iron & Rust Particles
One of the most common issues. These particles can quickly stain liners and discolor pool water.

🔹 Mineral Sediment & Mud
High-volume water flow can disturb sediment inside water lines, resulting in cloudy, muddy, or dark-colored water entering the pool.

🔹 Metal Debris, Sticks & Stones
Debris trapped within hydrants, lateral lines, or fire equipment can potentially cause punctures, scratches, or abrasions to vinyl liners.

🔹 High-Velocity Water Pressure
The extreme pressure from hydrants or fire trucks can shift liners out of place, stretch material, or even cause tearing.

⚠️ Additional issues that may occur:

• Metal Staining: When chlorine reacts with iron-heavy water, pools can turn green or yellow and leave long-lasting brown or yellow stains.

• Improper Liner Expansion: Filling too rapidly with high-pressure water may prevent the liner from settling correctly, causing wrinkles or permanent liner damage.

Our department’s priority is protecting both public safety and private property. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation as we continue serving our community safely and responsibly.

We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer season! 🌊☀️🚒

Today, on International Firefighters’ Day,
we recognize and honor the bravery, dedication, and sacrifice of firefighters everywhere. Every day, firefighters answer the call without hesitation facing danger, uncertainty, and long hours in service to others. Their commitment helps keep our communities safe, often at great personal sacrifice.
That is why today also serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting fire, using it responsibly, and understanding the role firefighters play in protecting our homes, families, and communities.
On this day, we thank every firefighter past and present for your courage, your service, and the difference you make every single day. Stay safe and God bless each and every one of you.

🚫🔥 County-Wide Burn Ban Notice 🔥🚫

Dear residents of Halifax County,

During last night’s Fire Commission meeting, the Fire Departments strongly recommended implementing a county-wide burn ban due to the ongoing dry weather conditions. These conditions significantly increase the risk of uncontrolled fires, putting lives, property, and land at risk.

This evening, the Halifax County Board of Supervisors reviewed and officially approved this recommendation.

We are asking all residents to please refrain from any outdoor burning until further notice. This includes brush burns, debris burning, and any open flames that could pose a fire hazard.

Your cooperation is essential in helping us protect our community and keep everyone safe. Updates will be provided as conditions improve.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

A big night of learning for Clover VFD! Our team had the opportunity to train with the Dominion Energy Renewable Energy Team, gaining essential knowledge for handling fire and medical situations on renewable energy sites.

Thank you to all members who showed up and participated, and an extra big thank‑you to Dominion Energy for coming out and sharing your expertise. We truly appreciate your partnership. This kind of in‑depth training makes a real difference in how we serve our community in a safe manner.
