We had a great time talking with folks this weekend at the Ferrum Folk life festival and the Domestic Violence Awareness event in downtown Rocky Mount. We rolled out some new items that were a big hit made by our Community Outreach Coordinator, Joe Overfelt! Joe enjoys art and graphics and made the pink and black helmets you see in these pictures. Look out for the Pink Helmet coming to an event near you!

We train and we train and then we train some more. Why do we train so much you ask? Training gives you the opportunity to experience different scenarios that you might not other wise get in the field. Today we train for driving, tomorrow we train for entrapments and next week we train for something different. Here is a few shots from our most recent Recruit school training at the Franklin County Fire & EMS burn building and training facility. There are many people that make these live trainings possible so that our folks can be as safe as possible, yet have the most realistic experience as possible. If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer or Career Firefighter or EMT I encourage you to call today at 540-301-1143

We would like to congratulate Captain Becky Ayers on her recent graduation of the Virginia Fire Officers Academy.T he Virginia Fire Officer Academy is a week-long residential program designed to develop current or aspiring company officers. The theme of the VFOA was “Safety Through Leadership” and was based on the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives. The program is focused on improving leadership techniques, personal accountability, and fostering the cultural change required to improve firefighter safety.
