Thank you to everyone that came out for our Firehouse Chicken BBQ dinner. We do apologize for the unforeseen delay on some orders. There was an unexpected issue with our grills, but hopefully you enjoyed your meal and will join us for our next event in June. Your support means so much and allows us to continue doing what we love - serving our community.

“We know the people in our community and we’re

“We know the people in our community and we’re there for them when they need us most.”

Name: Kailee Horvath

How long you’ve been with AVFRD: 4 years

Years in Fire and Rescue: 4 years

What is your profession: Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) at Broadlands Family Practice and a full-time nursing student at Marymount University

Why did you choose to volunteer: Both my dad and my brother are members, and I've always said I grew up around the department. Eventually I got roped into coming in for a ride-along and I was immediately hooked!

What big lesson have you learned as a volunteer: How important it is to develop good relationships and trust the people you work with. I have always been an extremely independent person, and I had to break away from that when I joined the department. We work together in teams and you really get close with the people you run with. We truly are like one big family and I know that we always have each other's backs.

How do you think volunteering benefits the community: I think the phrase, "neighbors helping neighbors" really captures our reality as volunteers. For most of us, we joined because we want to give back to our community. Many of us either grew up in this area or live here now. We know the people in our community and we're there for them when they need us most. We put time and energy into training and getting certifications in order to give back to our friends, family, and neighbors.

A few of our members had the opportunity to visit House 6 Brewing Co. to help them start brewing their new Irish Red, the Anne Marie. The beer will be ready for St Patrick’s Day and is named after AVFRD’s own Irish redhead, Anne Marie O’Callaghan Mason. Anne Marie is a life member, our first-ever female firefighter, and the only female AVFRD President to date. Follow @house6brewing for updates on its availability!

Today we have an extra volunteer staffed truck and medic unit to assist the day crews during the snowfall. In the first picture you can see our medic unit was asked to move temporarily to Purcellville while they were busy with calls. The second picture shows the view from our snow plow earlier this morning. #snow #volunteerfiredepartment #firefighters #emt #volunteerfirefighter #volunteeremt

We have a forecast for wintery weather today, a mix of snow and sleet. Here are some safety tips to tackle the winter weather:

❄️Please drive slowly and carefully as the roads may be slick.

☃️Make sure your windows are all cleared before driving!

🌨 Put salt or sand down on your drive ways to prevent slipping.

🌬Help your elderly or differently abled neighbors by shoveling their driveways and checking on them.

(This picture is a throwback to a past snowstorm in Ashburn)
