Structure Fire for Thursday Crew
15 minutes before the end of their overnight shift Engine 618, Engine and Tower 611, along with Engine 624, Battalion 601, Safety 601, and EMS 601 from Loudoun County Fire and Rescue, and also Engine, Medic and Rescue 439, Truck 425, and Battalion 401 from Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, were alerted for a report of a fire in a local restaurant. Engine 618 arrived to find a small fire in a neighboring nail salon and began fire attack. As the rest of the assignment arrived Battalion 601 requested a Rapid Intervention Team be dispatched bringing additional units from Loudoun and Fairfax. (A fire alarm had been dispatched for a nearby address and once it was determined to be related to the fire those units transitioned to the RIT assignment.) Units worked together to extinguish the fire, search for occupants, check surrounding businesses, secure utilities, and overcome a broken fire hydrant. The fire was extinguished in a few minutes and crews transitioned to mitigating water and smoke damage and making sure there was no hidden fire spread. Canteen 611 responded to provide breakfast for everybody.
A few hours later the career staff assigned to the Sterling stations responded to another fire in an apartment near Dulles Town center, and that night the Friday night volunteers started their shift responding to another fire, this time in a local fast food restaurant in Sterling Park.

The SVFC extends our condolences and sympathy to the family of JB Anderson and to the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company.
Past Chief of the LVFC, JB had an amazing influence within the fire service and on the Loudoun fire and rescue systems as Fire Instructor, Mentor, Fire Marshal, Public Education specialist and a founder of the Vo-Tech program for the Loudoun County Public Schools. He is a member of the Loudoun County Hall of Fame.
JB's dedication to the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company, to the fire service at large, and to the Loudoun County Volunteer Fire-Rescue system will not be forgotten. Rest in Peace, Chief.

Another fire caused by improper disposal of smoking materials. These fires are preventable! This one didn't happen in Sterling, but it can happen here (and has).
- Dispose of smoking materials ONLY in a metal or ceramic container filled with sand or water.
- Remember that mulch, potting soil, etc. is combustible and will burn quickly when exposed to heat.
- Place smoking receptacles away from the home, NOT on the front porch, balcony, deck, or outside your door.
- Remember, “Put it out, all the way, every time!”Loudoun Fire Officials determined yesterday’s 2-alarm apartment fire was caused by improperly discarded smoking materials. $700k damages, 33 residents displaced, one cat deceased. ow.ly/qVqp50zQH9V

On this Memorial Day as the SVFC remembers those who fell in service of their country we particularly remember one of our own, Doug Green, who served with us in 2008-2009 before joining the military. Specialist Green was killed in Afghanistan in 2011.

Twelve years ago today, on Sunday, May 25, 2008 a significant fire occurred in a single family home at 43238 Meadowood Court in Leesburg, Virginia. Volunteers from Sterling Fire were part of the initial response. Over the course of the incident seven Loudoun County Fire and Rescue personnel, career and volunteer, were injured, with four receiving serious burns. The entire Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System has been affected by this incident and resulting personnel injuries, changing how we respond and how we train. Many who responded are still active in Sterling and throughout the county.

Something to keep in mind if the expected rain comes this week:Are your wipers on? Your headlights should be on, too! 💡
Keep this in mind if you must travel today. Parts of #Virginia are expected to see rain due to #TropicalStormArthur. 🌧️🚗
