It is with a heavy heart that we share that the passing of Loretta Eamich (Daughter in Law of Chief Eamich) who lost her battle with cancer October 25, 2020.⠀
⠀
Loretta was an EMT on Friday nights. She helped to research the history of AVFRD, and anyone who has a copy of the book can thank her for the hours she spent helping to pull together information. Loretta also chaired the Annual Banquet Committee and helped to find creative ways to encourage donations for our raffle prizes. We have so much to thank her for over her years of service.⠀
⠀
She leaves behind a wonderful family (husband Bruce; daughter Christina; son Jason, daughters & sons in law, 3 beautiful granddaughters, her mom, 3 sisters and 2 brothers.⠀
⠀
In honor of all that Loretta had done for AVFRD, I hope we can pay respects and tribute via their AVFRD family, and her husband, Bruce.⠀
⠀
God speed.

Name: Dave Bryant⠀
Years with AVFRD: Started in January 2020 (almost a year)⠀
Profession: I served in the active duty Army for a decade before transitioning to the Reserves, where I’ve served for the last 6 years. I’m currently serving as a Lieutenant Colonel with a unit in Fort Lee, VA. When I transitioned from active duty, I started working as a consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers, where I currently serve as a PR professional.⠀
Why you chose to volunteer: I like to serve others. I’ve always carried tow straps, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and spare water in my truck — in case I come across someone on the road who needs help. Handing over a situation to the professionals was always bittersweet, because I wanted to do more. I’ve always admired the fire service — selfless individuals who work hard to help others. So now I can be a first responder and do more.⠀
How volunteering benefits the community: Obvious cost-saving, inherent in the volunteer service. Also, familiar faces responding to emergencies, offering some aspect of comfort to what is often the worst day of a person’s life.⠀
Major lessons learned as a volunteer: The fire service in Loudoun County is made up of incredibly genuine, humble, and selfless people. Despite being a relatively affluent area, the volunteers that serve this county report for their shifts every night after working full days at their day jobs, run calls throughout the night, and go straight to the office the next day. Usually these first responders do so without ever asking for anything in return, or for special treatment in the workplace.

Name: Sergeant Brian Romola (The third person from L to R)⠀
Years with AVFRD: 8.5 years⠀
Years in Fire and Rescue: 8.5 years⠀
Profession: Healthcare Consultant⠀
Why you chose to volunteer: I chose to volunteer to help the community I live in and be there for people when they need someone the most.⠀
Major lessons learned as a volunteer: Every call matters no matter how big or how small. When we show up, we are there to help the community and make their day better.⠀
How volunteering benefits the community: Volunteering is a great way to network with the community. It strengthens our ties with the community and also provides a place where people can explore and learn how everyday people with other jobs put it all aside to serve the community.

Our flag flies at half staff today in respect and memory of U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Benjamin S. Hines. Staff Sgt. Hines was killed in April while operating in Afghanistan in an attack that also killed Staff Sgt. Christopher K.A. Slutman, a FDNY firefighter and a life member of Kentland Volunteer Fire Department in Maryland, and Cpl. Robert A. Hendriks of NY.

Staff Sgt. Hines was an Ashburn resident prior to his deployment to Afghanistan. His remains are being escorted by police from his hometown in York County, PA to his final resting place at Arlington National Cemetery today.

Happy International Women’s Day! We want to than

Happy International Women’s Day! We want to thank all the women who served our department and those who continue to keep the community safe today. Women have been in the fire department since we started in 1944 as Women’s Auxiliary members. In the 1980’s we gained our first female firefighter. Now we have women in all areas of the fire and rescue department including leadership. #girlpower #internationalwomensday

Tonight marks the final shift for Cpt. Ken Lawson,

Tonight marks the final shift for Cpt. Ken Lawson, our longest serving operational volunteer. Cpt. Lawson started with AVFRD in early 1971 and has served Loudoun County and the Ashburn community for 47 years. He has served in every operational position within our department (Chief - 1986-1989 and 1997-1997, Assistant Chief - 1990-1995, Captain - 1980-1985, 1996, 2000-2018, Firefighter - 1971-1980). He has also held a Board of Directors seat for 20 plus years. Ken, like most of us with a busy home and career life, has never used that to downplay or push aside the commitment that he has made to our department or to the citizens we serve. Ken Lawson is a true professional and the epitome of a Volunteer Firefighter. Thank you, Cpt. Lawson, for being a servant, a leader, a mentor, and a steadfast presence in our department and community.
