“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?'” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

VFD's EMT Colton Anderson holds a small dog for a resident during the evacuation of all 147 residents from the Columbia and Richelieu Apartments who have been successfully relocated. This includes pets. Thank you to all our mutual aid partners who supported this effort.

Last night a hose was driven over at a fire scene. The VFD reminds motorists that Driving over a fire hose could result in the loss of a critical water supply to a fire engine and the crew fighting a fire. Don’t drive over a fire hose! It could be a matter of life and death.

The Ambulance Committee reviews final specifications for a new ambulance, which although ordered this year, will not arrive until mid to late 2023. When over 300,000 miles a year are collectively placed on VFD ambulances, a robust replacement schedule is a necessity.
