WASHINGTON COUNTY, VA UNDER LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY
[BURN BAN]

Washington County, Virginia has declared a Local Emergency issuing a ban on burning, effective immediately in response to the fire hazard conditions that create extreme fire danger. This ban is the result of an extremely dry weather and no significant rain fall.

The ban on burning is applicable to public and private property and will remain in effect until Washington County receives a significant amount of precipitation to reduce the fire danger.

Heads-up Washington County – We’re at a Class 3 (HIGH) Fire Danger today!

With an increase in fire danger, this means fires are more likely to start easily from most causes, can burn at faster rates, and can be difficult to control.

We suggest foregoing any outdoor burning.

Last night at 8:11PM, your were dispatched to a controlled burn that got a little out of hand because of the wind. While we want to remind you of the 4PM Virginia Burn Law, we urge you to be aware of the weather forecast if you intend any kind of open-air burning after 4PM. Never burn on dry or windy days because a controlled burn can quickly become out of control.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Haysi Volunteer Fire Department, Chief’s family, friends, and his extended family with the Virginia Department of Forestry.

Rest in peace, Chief Wood. We’ve got it from here.

Our hearts are broken this morning, our Chief Rocky Wood has been called home. We ask that everyone please pray for his family and for our fire department.

Yesterday was a busy day for your with two calls during the evening.

At 16:14, units were dispatched for a reported chimney fire near the 10000 block of Hayter Gap Road. Members were able to quickly assess the scene, clear the chimney, and remove minor ash residue from the home. Thanks to members with Meadowview Vol. Fire Department for assisting us.

At 19:32, CMVFD units were then dispatched for a reported MVC with an entrapment over an embankment on North Fork River Road. Two occupants self-extricated prior to the arrival of CMVFD units with one occupant requiring extrication via Jaws of Life.

We thank every veteran for their service, sacrifices, and dedication to defend and serve our nation. With our highest honor, thank you, veterans.

[Daylight Saving Time Ends 2AM Sunday, November 6] Don’t forget to set your clocks BACK 1 hour before going to bed tonight. It’s also a great time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms!

A two thumbs up rating! We certainly enjoyed having the Hayter’s Gap Heads Start stop by the station for a visit! Who knows, these may be some future firefighters in the making!

Your conducted training earlier this week on cribbing and patient care during a motor vehicle accident. Our seasoned volunteers worked with our newer members to help broaden their training. A great job by all who participated!

We all made a promise to .

Happy Fourth of July from your !
Enjoy the day, and please celebrate responsibly!

Happy Father’s Day from your to all of the wonderful dads out there, and especially the amazing dads on our department! To all the men we have looked up to, thanks for leading the way!

Yesterday, the tones dropped at 17:21 for a reported motor vehicle crash on North Fork River Road. Upon arrival, crews found a single vehicle left the road and struck a culvert. Minor injuries were sustained by the occupant. Station 70 Valley Rescue and Virginia State Police were also on scene.

Memorial Day isn't just a three-day weekend or a day to officially kick off summer.

It’s about honoring and remembering those who gave their tomorrows for our today. Please be safe today and take the time to reflect on those who sacrificed it all so we can enjoy our freedoms.

We had a great time yesterday at our first three-agency picnic with Brumley Gap Vol. Fire Dept. and Station 70 Valley Rescue. We often work alongside each other, and while we may be different agencies, we’re friends who have become family.

Thank you to those who worked extra hard in preparation of our picnic! And to our families, thank you for being by our side and supporting us!
