Fort Blackmore Fire Department became an EMS Agency {1256} with the Virginia Department of Emergency Services on 26 May 2007. Currently, the Department is not participating in First Responder activities. Perhaps in the future, with the advent of multiple sets of Firefighters, this Department will once again seek to gain Agency recognition. Sadly, we do not currently service the county as an EMS Agency; however, we always seek to improve our firefighting abilities.
