VDFP is saddened to announce that former Division 1 Chief John Fugman passed away Saturday morning as a result of his ongoing battle with cancer.

Fugman spent nearly 23 years working for the agency, recently retiring to focus on his health. During his tenure, Chief Fugman played a role in course development, test development, reaccreditation support, and the development of specifications for vehicles, trailers, and fire equipment to support the agency's mission. He also served as the program manager for ARFF, Firefighter I & II, Course Coordinator, Water Rescue, EVOC, Hazardous Materials Program, Motorsports Program, Fire Attack Series, and Compliance Officer. Additionally, throughout his time with the agency, he routinely staffed the ESF-4 desk during EOC activations. Fugman also served as a member of the Central Virginia Incident Management Team.

The agency asks that you keep John’s wife Tina, friends, and colleagues in your prayers. Arrangements will be announced when available.

Yet another apparatus hit while blocking the scene of an auto accident. This happens far too often and seems to be more common in Virginia.

When you see an apparatus, slow down and move over. Thankfully no brothers or sisters in Henrico were seriously injured on this incident.
