🇺🇲 Honoring and Remembering all those who made the way for our freedoms we get to enjoy today.

It takes a special person to willingly fight for their country. Some come home and others give their life for their country.

Never want to forget those who fought the ultimate fight and died as heroes.

CONGRATULATIONS ✨️🎉 to Andrew Anderson on passing his Firefighter 2 class.

The Virginia Department of Forestry has our area listed in the "Low" category the next couple of days as far as outside brush burning goes.

Some areas have received a little rain fall where other areas have gotten none. Its going to be hot and dry this week. Be cautious if you do plan to burn outdoors and be prepared. It doesn't take long for a small brush fire to get out of hand.

We missed Asst. Chief Donnie Sauls (D-Ray) Birthday yesterday. Happy Belated Birthday!!!

We've been slowly making progress on clearing the embankment off beside of our fire station. Had several trees that needed to be cut in order to finish clearing the brush.

Still have more work to do, but it already looks a lot better.

Huge shout out to Jordan Marcum owner of Marcum's Land Management on the clearing of brush beside of our fire department. It's turned out to be a bigger project than first anticipated. We still have a ways to go, need to get a few trees cut before the rest of the brush is removed.

It didn't get overgrown overnight and it's not gonna get cleared overnight, slow work in progress. But once the job gets done and we can maintain it, it shouldn't get out of hand again.
