We were honored to educate children in our community last week by hosting an event with Buchanan County Head Start Preschool. Thank you to the families for allowing your children to spend a portion of their day with us. Thank you to the faculty and staff for bringing the children.

Be aware of the fire risk

Virginia's official spring fire season may have ended on April 30, but the ongoing drought and current weather conditions are keeping wildfire risk elevated.🔥📈 The U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) reports increased fire danger across most of Virginia today, May 5, due to low humidity and gusty winds. Postpone outdoor burning and use extra caution with all potential ignition sources.

Today, we take a moment to recognize the brave men and women who answer the call—day or night, in any condition—putting their lives on the line to protect others.

At the Whitewood Volunteer Fire Department, we are proud to stand alongside individuals who embody courage, dedication, and selflessness. Whether it’s fighting fires, responding to emergencies, or serving our community in times of need, our firefighters are always ready.

This day isn’t just about what we do—it’s about why we do it. It’s about family, brotherhood, and a commitment to something bigger than ourselves.

We also remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Their legacy lives on in every call we answer.

Thank you to all firefighters—past and present—for your service and sacrifice.

If you see a firefighter today, take a moment to say thank you.

🚨📞 Honoring Our Dispatchers – National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week 📞🚨

This week, we proudly recognize and thank the dedicated men and women behind the headset — our dispatchers.

They are the calm voice in chaos, the first first responders, and the vital link between those in need and the crews responding. Whether it’s a structure fire, medical emergency, or motor vehicle accident, our dispatchers work tirelessly to ensure help is on the way.

Their professionalism, quick thinking, and unwavering commitment do not go unnoticed. They answer every call with courage, compassion, and precision — often without ever seeing the outcome of the lives they help save.

From all of us at the Whitewood Volunteer Fire Department, thank you for your service, sacrifice, and dedication. We couldn’t do what we do without you.

💛📡 We appreciate you today and every day! 📡💛
