Thank you to Daniel's Run Elementary School for hosting the Fairfax Volunteer Fire Department and our "Touch-a-Truck" event this past Saturday.

We had lots of fun engaging with all of the kids who came out to experience what it means to be a firefighter.

We are grateful to have opportunities such as these to inspire the next generation of firefighters!

Congrats on a successful firefighter 1 burn day!

Last weekend, our recruits had their first set of live fire burn evolutions as a part of recruit school.

During these evolutions, the recruits were tested on their ability to perform basic fireground tasks, such as pulling hose and throwing ladders. Although they had performed these tasks many times in training, this was their first experience with live fire.

Thank you to all the instructors and supporting staff for making this a successful day!

Yesterday, as a part of their recruit school, our newest members got the opportunity to complete the work performance evaluation (WPE). The WPE is a timed event that requires the participants to complete a series of tasks that mimic basic fireground activities. This evaluation is used as a base point for guaging the recruits' physical fitness. The recruits will complete the WPE multiple times throughout their recruit school as a means of measuring their progress.

Thank you for hosting and teaching our recruits.
