Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy's family. Nancy was an RN at CFMH that taught a lot of our folks on this squad and taught us well. She was a great mentor.

View Nancy Louise (Smith) Johnson's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

Some of our members took Vehicle Extrication today! Such a great class to learn about not only the proper way to cut people out of cars but about the safety of approaching vehicles in wreck scenes. Great job guys and gals!!

Can yall believe it's a new month already? This month we're going to recognize 2 of our members who just recently completed an EMT class and are working diligently to get their checkoffs done to be AIC in the back of the ambulance. Please help me congratulate Kameron Kitts and Abby Deering!!

Abby is a Senior at FCHS and will be attending UVA in the fall to pursue a degree in Biology.
Kam is the current Aquatic Director at Franklin County YMCA.
We're so proud of both of these members and the dedication they are showing not only to FCRS but the citizens of Franklin County.

New month:
This month we recognize Julia White. Julia is one of our junior members but puts forth 110% with our squad. She is our current Secretary for not only the squad but the Board of Directors as well.

Julia joined the squad in June of 2025 after obtaining her EMT certification in May. Julia says she joined Squad 2 to serve the community and practice the skills she learned in EMT class. She says it is truly an honor to volunteer and help others through being a member at Squad 2. She hopes the experience she will gain from volunteering will translate into her pursuit of a future career in the medical field.

Julia is a junior at Christian Heritage Academy with plans to attend either UVA or Liberty and major in Biochemistry.

Julia says she is very honored to serve the public in this way.

Thank you Julia for not only what you do at FranklinCounty RescueSquad but for the citizens of Franklin County!

This month we recognize Steven Chance.

Steven joined the Franklin County Rescue Squad in January of 1994 at a young age, beginning what would become one of the most meaningful commitments of his life. He earned his EMT certification and held it for about twelve years while actively serving the community. During his first years with the squad, he had the honor of serving as Captain of the Junior Rescue Squad for a couple of years, followed by a term as 2nd Lieutenant on the Senior Squad.

Steven stopped running calls around 2006 but remained deeply connected to the organization as a lifetime member. On July 23rd, 2024, he joined the Board of Directors, continuing his dedication to the squad in a leadership capacity. By August 2025, he was back running calls again—this time as a driver—and in February 2025, he stepped into the role of 2nd Lieutenant. Steven also plans to regain his EMT certification in the near future.

Steven says: Joining the Franklin County Rescue Squad at such an early age kept me grounded, active, and focused on something larger than myself. It taught me valuable life lessons, built lifelong friendships, and helped me understand the true meaning of community service. Helping people through some of their worst moments is one of the most direct ways to live out the commandment of “Love Thy Neighbor,” and it remains a core part of who I am.

Thank you Steven for the years for dedicated service to not only FranklinCounty RescueSquad but the citizens of Franklin County.
