Land of the free because of the brave.

Today, the Leaksville Volunteer Fire Department pauses to take a moment to remember those that answered the call to duty for others and gave everything for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Whether they're checking vitals and providing basic medical care and transport, standing by on fire calls in case the need arises, or making split second, life-saving decisions during traumatic incidents, our EMS members are a consistent need every day and we at the Leaksville Volunteer Fire Department are grateful for all they do. Join us in recognizing their tireless service this--and every--week.

🚫🔥 STATEWIDE BURN BAN IN EFFECT 🔥🚫

Due to increased wildfire risk and ongoing dry conditions, a statewide burn ban has been issued across all 100 counties beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 28 and will remain in effect until further notice.

All open burning is prohibited—this includes yard debris, brush piles, and any previously permitted burns. No new burning permits will be issued during this time.

⚠️ Important reminders:
• Violations can result in fines and court costs
• You may be held responsible for firefighting expenses if your fire gets out of control
• Fires within 100 feet of an occupied dwelling are still be allowed until the Rockingham County Fire Marshal deems it necessary to issue a local burn ban.

With dry conditions and wildfire risk on the rise, it’s critical everyone does their part to prevent new fires. Local fire departments and law enforcement are assisting with enforcement.

📞 For questions, contact your county ranger or local fire marshal’s office.

🚨 Remember to change your smoke alarm batteries, test and check the date on the alarm! 🚨

♻️If your alarm is 10 years old or older, it needs to be replaced!

There are "10 year" alarms available that do not require changing a battery.

If you have questions or need assistance with alarms, contact your local Fire Department.

Daylight saving time starts this Sunday, March 8th! Use this as a reminder to test your smoke alarms and replace batteries if needed.

Share this with your friends and family.
