We hope everyone is having an enjoyable holiday weekend so far!
We wanted to take a second to reflect on the purpose behind the holiday weekend. We wanted to share this video as a poignant reminder of what Memorial Day was established for.
We are forever grateful for those who have gone and made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of our nation.
Join us in honoring fallen firefighters May 1-5!
Let's come together as a community to honor and remember the sacrifice of America's fallen firefighters. From May 1 to May 5, 2024, we invite landmarks, fire departments, community organizations, businesses, and homes across the nation to light up in red.
Why shine red lights?
Red symbolizes bravery, sacrifice, and courage—qualities embodied by our fallen firefighters. By illuminating our surroundings in red, we pay tribute to their service and honor their memory..

Today, the Senate of Virginia unanimously passed two pieces of VPFF legislation. Senate Bill 904 (Senator Bill DeSteph) allows for the compensability of anxiety and depressive disorders under workers' compensation for firefighters.

We appreciate these Senators for carrying our legislation and look forward to continued success as they cross over to the House of Delegates next week!
