First Responder Update

We are in the process of renewing our agency paperwork through VAEMS. We have created a new update for our OMD, informing him of the changes we have made to our First Responder program and training that we hope to accomplish. We have also gotten most of our mutual aid sheets signed by the 3 other rescue squads in Scott Co., VA. Our First Responder-711 has been restocked and cleaned and is ready for inspection. We need to get our OMD to sign off on us and get our inspection done. Hopefully, this will be accomplished in the next few weeks.

Any people out there who wish to join us should call the Department and leave a message: 276-995-2035 or email us at fbvfd@mounet.com . EMTs and First Responders will be welcome, if they live within our Fire District, and others will be considered. Drivers and EMT/FR's must get their EVOC training, or already be certified by another Department within Scott County. A background check through VSP will also be done.
