Today, Campbell County Public Safety mourns the loss of Brookville-Timberlake Volunteer Fire Department Former Chief Jerry Womack.

Chief Womack faithfully served his community for 33 years with dedication, integrity, and a true servant’s heart. His impact reached far beyond his department as he trained and mentored countless firefighters throughout Central Virginia, leaving a lasting mark on the fire service. His influence will continue to be felt every time a firefighter answers the call, carrying forward the lessons, values, and dedication he instilled.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Womack family, his fire service family, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Chief Womack’s legacy of leadership, service, and selflessness will never be forgotten.
