We would like to Congratulate Firefighter Lucas Keith for passing his Fire Instructor II Class. This class requires the students to design a class to be taught and the passing of a 50 question test. Hard work and perseverance takes time and dedication. Lucas is a third generation firefighter and has grown up in the fire service. Lucas is the little one in the picture below, that little boy would be proud and so are we!

Virginia’s spring fire season is here, officially Feb. 15 – April 30. During that time, the statewide burn law is in effect, which prohibits outdoor fires between midnight and 4 p.m. 🔥🚫

Don't be fooled by the snow! Most of Virginia is in a drought caused by months of below-average rainfall. Already this year, DOF has responded to 80 wildfires that have burned nearly 800 acres.

The best ways you can prevent wildfires:
🔥 Wait until after the fire season to burn yard debris
🔥 If you must burn, avoid windy days
🔥 Never leave a fire unattended
🔥 Know the state burn law and local restrictions

Get more tips, and learn about the 4 p.m. burning law on DOF’s website: https://ow.ly/3SsV50Yey8q
