Today, B-Shift got together with some of our newer volunteer members for some back-to-basics training.

The crews worked through a variety of skills, including obtaining vital signs, performing 12-lead EKGs, checking blood glucose levels, and practicing lifting and moving techniques using the stair chair and Reeves stretcher. Members also had the opportunity to work on ALS assistance, including preparing IV equipment for the paramedic.

Many of our volunteer members are William & Mary students, and we’re always happy to take the time to work with them, strengthen their skills, and build confidence with the fundamentals.

Sometimes it’s the basics that make the biggest difference. Great work everyone!

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001, a day that changed our country forever.

We remember the 2,977 innocent lives lost, including the 343 FDNY firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice while answering the call to help others. They ran toward the danger when everyone else was trying to get away, putting the lives of others before their own.

Today, firefighters from WFD, JCCFD, and York County FD gathered at William & Mary’s Zable Stadium to complete the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, climbing in remembrance of the fallen firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11th. With every step, we honor their memory, their courage, and the families, friends, and brothers and sisters they left behind.

Their sacrifice reminds us why we answer the call, why we look out for one another, and why we continue to serve our communities every day.

This week, Master Firefighter/EMT Randy Webb was presented with the Williamsburg Fire Department’s “Senior Man” shield, recognizing him as the department’s longest-serving eligible non-officer with uninterrupted service.

Established in June 2019, the Senior Man program recognizes the department member whose rank does not exceed Master Firefighter or Master Medic and who has the longest continuous service with the City of Williamsburg Fire Department. The designation honors the important role senior members play within the organization.

Through their years of service, they bring a wealth of institutional knowledge, operational experience, and perspective that is invaluable to the department and, particularly, to the mentoring and development of newer members. The individual receiving this distinction is presented with a specially designated shield displaying their name, fire department identification number, and the title “Senior Man.”

Since the program was established in 2019, only two other members have held the distinction: Master Firefighter/Paramedic John Hansen and Senior Firefighter/EMT Doug Bailey. Hansen and Bailey, along with Webb’s family and fellow department members, joined in Monday’s presentation to recognize this significant milestone. Congratulations to Senior Man Randy Webb!

Thank you for your many years of dedicated service and for your continued contributions to the Williamsburg Fire Department and the members who serve alongside you.

Please join us in congratulating Firefighter/EMT Jackson Gay on successfully completing his probationary period and officially being released from probation!

Throughout his probation, Jackson has worked incredibly hard to develop his knowledge, skills, and abilities as a firefighter. He has consistently demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a strong commitment to serving our community.

In addition to completing his probation, Jackson also successfully completed the department's Basic Life Support (BLS) Attendant in Charge (AIC) program, a significant accomplishment. This qualification allows him to serve as the Attendant in Charge for Basic Life Support patients, assuming responsibility for their assessment, treatment, and care when appropriate.

Jackson is pictured with A Shift, the crew that supported him throughout his probationary year. His mentor, Firefighter/Paramedic Ethan Barton, played a key role in his development. Every new firefighter is paired with an experienced mentor after graduating from the academy to provide guidance, leadership, and support as they transition into the fire service. Ethan also served as Jackson's preceptor during his BLS AIC training, helping him reach this important milestone.

Congratulations, Jackson, on all you've accomplished! Your hard work and dedication have paid off, and we're excited to see your continued growth and success with the Williamsburg Fire Department.

Over the past few months, we’ve celebrated many accomplishments across the Williamsburg Fire Department, and our personnel have been working incredibly hard to continue developing their skills and advancing their careers.

This week, we’re proud to recognize two members of C Shift, Firefighter/EMT Cameron Spires (left) and Firefighter/Paramedic Robert Krieger (right), for reaching important milestones in their training and professional development.

Firefighter/EMT Cameron Spires officially completed the department’s Basic Life Support (BLS) Attendant in Charge (AIC) program. The BLS AIC program requires personnel to complete a field internship and demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge and skills necessary to serve as the Attendant in Charge.

This qualification provides significant operational benefits to both our personnel and the patients we serve. When a patient’s condition can be appropriately managed at the Basic Life Support level, the BLS AIC assumes responsibility for patient care, allowing our crews to provide efficient and effective treatment in the field.

Firefighter/Paramedic Jake Krieger was officially released as a Tower 10 operator. Krieger has exceeded expectations throughout the evaluation process and demonstrated that he is fully capable of operating Tower 10 and managing the apparatus’s complex capabilities.

Congratulations to Cameron and “Krieger” on completing these important milestones! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to professional development continue to make our department stronger.

Keep up the great work, guys!

This week, Senior Firefighter/Paramedic Ethan Barton was officially released to drive and operate Tower 10!

Tower 10 is the Williamsburg Fire Department’s largest and most complex apparatus, requiring specialized knowledge, advanced driving skills, and a high level of operational proficiency. Becoming a qualified Tower 10 driver/operator is a significant professional milestone and a reflection of Ethan’s dedication to his training and professional development.

As our personnel continue to progress through the department’s driver development program, they strengthen not only their individual skill sets, but also the operational depth, versatility, and readiness of our entire department.

Congratulations, Ethan, on this outstanding accomplishment! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence make the Williamsburg Fire Department stronger and better prepared to serve our community.

The City of Williamsburg Fire Department is proud to announce that we have been awarded the American Heart Association's Mission: Lifeline® EMS Bronze Achievement Award, and even more exciting, this was our first year applying for the award!

Mission: Lifeline recognizes EMS agencies that demonstrate a commitment to providing high-quality, evidence-based care for patients experiencing time-sensitive cardiovascular emergencies, such as heart attacks and strokes. The award honors agencies that consistently meet nationally recognized performance measures while working closely with hospital partners to improve patient outcomes.

Receiving the Bronze Award on our very first application reflects the exceptional dedication of our firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and leadership team. It also highlights our continued investment in quality improvement, training, clinical excellence, and data-driven patient care.

While we're incredibly proud of this accomplishment, we're just getting started. We are already working toward achieving Silver and Gold Mission: Lifeline recognition by continuing to enhance our clinical performance and strengthen our partnerships throughout the region.

Thank you to every member of our department, our Medical Director, and our healthcare partners who helped make this achievement possible. Most importantly, thank you to the community we are honored to serve.

Here's to raising the bar and continuing to provide the highest level of prehospital care, one patient at a time.
