This year's recipient of the Roy S. Crane Member of the Year was awarded to Sgt. Nick Hoffmaster! 🎉
This year we renamed our Member of the Year award in honor of Roy, esteemed Life Member and Vice President, who pass away last July. Roy deeply loved Warrenton and was proud to serve with WVFC. He was the embodiment of dedication and as many members will tell you, "Roy always showed up."
Nick has embodied these qualities that Roy displayed by showing a dedication to helping others, showing up time and again, constantly working to improve himself, and supporting new members. He logged 1600 volunteer hours and responded to over 360 emergency calls in 2025. Congratulations on this achievement, Nick!
This year's New Member of the Year award went to EMT David Achter! This award recognizes the member with approximately one year of service and has shown great motivation, initiative, and overall devotion and commitment to WVFC.
David dedicated over 800 hours of service and ran over 300 emergencies in 2025 all while attending college full time at James Madison University. We look forward to seeing all that you will continue to accomplish in the future!

The unconditionally supportive leadership and WVFC always help me to learn new skills to add to my skillset as a firefighter. With their top of the line tools and equipment, I know that I am in the right place to grow in my career.
About a long week ago, your wonderful caring fire department saved my cat's life... he had climbed a 55’ tree to save himself from a predator. The firefighter staff came after some lengthy deliberation about how to deal with the odd situation. All of you did a spectacular job of organizing a method to save my cat’s life. We are both extremely grateful for you all!
I want to say “Thank you” for choosing to do what you all do. Words cannot express the amount of gratitude and respect I have for all first responders! Thank you for taking the time away from your family to take care of others. Your hard work does not go unnoticed.
