THIS WEEKEND! SVFD is hosting a basic 20 class where you will receive hands on training from area state instructors. If you're an area firefighter that needs your basic 20 or if you just want a refresher course, grab your gear and come train with us! Please be sure your gear is up to date and be ready to have a good time.
Not a firefighter, but interested in what we do? Come on out, we'd be glad to show you around!

Been a busy night of clean-up from tonights storms. We want to thank all of the area residents that stopped to help clear roadways along side area fire departments and road departments. Power companies are out working hard to restore power, and the last of the blocked roadways will reopen soon.

Thank you to all of our great dispatchers!

Just a reminder, please NO burning. We are under an enhanced wildfire risk due to extremely dry conditions and gusty winds.

Breezy south winds, low relative humidity values, and dry vegetation will lead to an elevated risk for wildfires this afternoon, mainly between noon and 7 PM. Outdoor burning and activities that involve open sparks or flames are discouraged.

Happy Birthday to our Chief Chris Beavers!!
