🚨 Exciting news for our community! 🚨

Our department has been selected to receive a Smoke Alarm Distribution Grant from the Virginia Department of Fire Programs!

Through this grant, we received 30 smoke alarms and 12 carbon monoxide detectors to help improve fire and life safety in our community. These devices will allow us to better protect local residents and ensure more homes have access to lifesaving early-warning technology.

We are grateful to the Virginia Department of Fire Programs
for its partnership and investment in the safety of our community. Additional information about the availability and installation is available. Please email: [email protected]
