WVFC has top-of-the-line equipment, and has helped me better my career path all while serving the community I love. My fellow members at WVFC are like my family -- they even came to my graduation from Prince William Fire and Rescue Recruit School. It is the members and leadership of WVFC that have pushed me to become a better person and a better firefighter.
I love running with WVFC because they have the best firefighters throughout the DMV area. Their first due has a good call volume, and I get to work with their top-of-the-line equipment daily. My training and experience at WVFC helped me get hired as a career firefighter. Most of all, my time at WVFC has taught me how to be a mentor, a leader, and a servant to my community.
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.
WVFC is my second family -- I know I can always count on my fellow members. Some of my favorite people I have met just by washing the rigs in front of the firehouse. Volunteering at WVFC has pushed me to become a better version of myself.
One thing I love about WVFC is the family I’ve built with volunteers within the department and in my community. Volunteering at WVFC allows me to be a part of something bigger than myself. Some of my favorite moments at the department are these family-like moments, such as playing basketball and cornhole out front. My time at WVFC has helped me recognize and appreciate all that goes into the fire and rescue service, specifically how integral strong leadership is in the department.
