Thanks to the generous support of the VDFP PPE Grant, we’ve just added brand new Scott 3M SCBA packs to our entire fleet!

These life-saving breathing apparatus units will allow our firefighters to operate safely and effectively in smoke-filled environments, giving us better protection, extended air supply during emergency responses, and enhanced safety features.

A huge thank you to the Virginia Department of Fire Programs for making this critical equipment upgrade possible.

We’re proud to serve Kerrs Creek and surrounding areas — better equipped than ever before!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Life Member and Chaplin Richard Garrett. Richard was one who could be called on to do any and everything that was needed. In the 60 plus years of being apart of the brotherhood he never hesitated to try and help someone in need. Richard on behalf of the members of the Kerrs Creek Fire Department we would like to thank you for your dedication and the abundance amount of pride you took in your department. You sir were one of a kind and will be truly missed by all. So many projects, and so much that you done to grow the department to what it is now. With over 60 years in the service and serving the citizens of this county. We honor you, Richard and the legacy that you bestowed on our department. Your legacy will live on sir.

Friendly reminder about the burn ban. It’s dry today and the rest of this week. Please consider not burning until conditions improve.

As spring arrives and brings warmer temperatures, the Virginia Department of Forestry (DOF) reminds all Virginians that our official fire season – as well as the statewide 4 pm burning law – remains in effect through April 30. So far this year, DOF has suppressed 356 wildfires that burned more than 4,200 acres.

The leading cause of wildfires is escaped debris burns. Keep these things in mind during fire season:

• Burning is allowed between 4 p.m. and midnight when proper precautions are taken
• No fire may be started – and no fuels can be added to a fire – after midnight
• The 4 p.m. burn law applies to open-air burning as defined under Virginia Code - § 10.1-1142
• Localities may have additional, individual burn bans or restrictions in effect
• Avoid burning during dry and windy conditions
• Never leave a fire unattended
• Have a shovel, rake, and a charged hose on hand for controlling the fire
• Call 911 immediately if a fire escapes your control
• When in doubt, put it out
