Volunteer firefighters wanted in Troutville! Lauren Taylor from WFXR News, the local Fox affiliate, stopped by the station to interview Jonathan Simmons after seeing one of our yard signs "VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Training Provided". The signs were purchased with help from Botetourt County to promote recruitment and retention. After placing 25 signs throughout our first due run area they worked, 6 new recruits responded after seeing the signs.

You might be asking, if the signs worked so well why don't I see them now? Turns out the placement of our signs were in violation of Botetourt County sign ordinance, we collected all the signs once this was brought to our attention.

This is where you can help the community by supporting Troutville Fire Department. If you live or have a business in the 56 square miles of our first due service area we would like for you to host a VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! yard sign. Our first due area consists of Troutville, Daleville, Mill Creek, Amsterdam, portions of Cloverdale and Catawba. You may be uncertain if your address is in our first due or not, we will be glad to assist. When you agree to host a VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! yard sign we will deliver a sign to your home or business, place it in your yard and take it up after two weeks. This would satisfy the county sign ordinance by having the sign on private property for no more than 30 days.

Troutville Fire Department would like to have enough hosts to rotate our 25 yard signs through different parts of our first due area until we reach our goal of 20 new recruits. If you are interested in being a yard sign host or have questions please private message us on Facebook or email onetvfd@tvfd.org. The volunteer members of Troutville Fire Department greatly appreciate your support. #oneTVFD ... See MoreSee Less

This evening, Company 2 members participated in Vehicle Rescue training at Station 2. We simulated a car that ran into a piece of "heavy equipment" with another vehicle on top of the initial car. Members honed their skills on stabilizing and extrication and also taught newer members basic vehicle rescue tasks. ... See MoreSee Less

This morning at 0739 hrs the TVFD was alerted to an abandoned car fire in the woods at the end of Clover Drive. Engine 2 and Brush 2 responded and had a quick knockdown on the blaze. Access to the vehicle was a bit of a challenge as it was at the bottom of a 40 ft embankment, but some quick thinking and ingenuity prevailed. County units Medic 2, Forestry 2, and County Chief 1 were also on scene. ... See MoreSee Less

Just to clarify: This wasn't a crash resulting in a fire or anything like that. The vehicle was unoccupied and no one was injured. Sorry for the vague details in the initial post.

Thanks for the update. So glad it wasn't a fatal fire. Thanks, Troutville VFD.

Wow...prayers that all are ok!

Hope they were all ok.

Glad everyone is alright!
