Today, members of the Fairfax Volunteer Fire Department attended the Teen Summer Job & Internship Fair at Fairfax High School to connect with students and share information about volunteer opportunities with our department.

We were proud to represent FVFD and talk with students about service, teamwork, leadership, and what it means to support your community.

Thank you to the Central Fairfax Chamber of Commerce organizers for hosting this event and to everyone who stopped by our table to learn more about the Fairfax Volunteer Fire Department.

Representing FVFD at today’s event were Dimitrios Ipiotis, Daniel Gillespie, and Emilee Forand.

If you are interested in learning more about volunteering with FVFD, we would love to hear from you!

We'd like to congratulate our new recruits on a successful first day of recruit school!

Yesterday the recruits got an introduction to their peers from other departments as well as to their instructors for the next few months. During the session they got to explore the training grounds and the equipment they'll use during their time in recruit school.

We wish them the best in their training!

Thank you for an amazing event this morning!

We are very happy to say that today's pancake breakfast was a great success. This year we changed the flow of events and got amazing results. All of the feedback we have received so far has been incredibly helpful and positive. We hope to continue using this more efficient and enjoyable flow for years to come.

We urge anyone who came in 2024 to please come again next year as this new flow will definitely make your experience more enjoyable!

Everyone from the FVFD had a wonderful morning serving pancakes and interacting with all of the kids. We hope that everyone enjoyed their experience today.

We would like to thank C shift for all their help this morning and fir opening up their kitchen to allow for visitors to walk through
