13 years ago today, on April 1, 2013 the Weyers Cave Fire Company partnered with Augusta County Fire-Rescue to increase ambulance service to the Weyers Cave and Mount Sidney Areas.

Since it's implementation, Ambulance 2601 has been a vital asset to our community. Answering 473 calls in it's first year, it's call volume has steadily increased over the last decade answering 1,401 calls for service in 2025.

Happy Birthday ACFR Ambulance 2601.

Have you seen the green WCFC ladder truck in some random places during the last week?

In the Fire & Rescue service, the brother and sisterhood doesn’t just exist in your own station. Weyers Cave Fire Company is proud to be able to assist Augusta County Fire & Rescue by loaning Truck 5 to continue to provide a necessary service while ACFR Truck 11 is out of service.

Thanks to Aiden’s Fire Photography for catching this unique video of Truck 5 leaving Company 11 in Fishersville.

We at Weyers Cave Volunteer Fire Company send our heartfelt condolences to Deere Horns Homemade Ice Cream and families. They’re a staple at our yearly lawn party & have become a part of the WCFC family over the years.

Our heartfelt thanks go to those who have offered prayers and messages to our family. We kindly request your continued support and understanding as we cope with the loss of our Ice Cream Master ♥️, whose exceptional customer service skills and infectious smile will be deeply missed. His devotion to the business was inspiring, and we are grateful for your support.

Did you miss the parade and Santa Clause last weekend? No worries, we will be riding Santa through the neighborhoods in Weyers Cave and Mount Sidney tomorrow beginning at 2pm.

Stay tuned tomorrow as we provide updates on Santa’s travel!

A sincere Thank You to everyone who braved the temps and wind for our Christmas Parade and visits with Santa this afternoon at the station. We understand that the conditions weren’t ideal for festivities, but a lot of planning and work goes into getting the different parades and events aligned in the area, rescheduling to a different day where busy volunteer schedules exist, is tough and almost impossible. We are happy to report that Santa will be making his rounds through the neighborhoods of Weyers Cave and Mount Sidney VERY soon. Stay tuned to Facebook for details to come! 🎅🏻🚒
