Headlights help others see you and make our roads safer at any time and in any weather. Headlights are required at night and when it rains. (Daytime Running Lights don't help from the rear or sides.)

Training in the rain
Last night members of the SVFC "Truck Driver" class of 2020 participated in a practical exercise in the rain (with a break as lightning moved through the area). These volunteers, all currently serving as Engine drivers, are finishing up two weeks of lectures and drills designed to teach them a new role: ladder truck driver. The idea is to place the cone dangling from the platform over another cone. It's a deceptively difficult exercise, but one that will build proficiency in the use of one of our most visible tools, our 104-foot tall Ladder Tower, Tower 611. Look for them this weekend as they practice setting up the ladder truck in various locations around Sterling.

Glad to see the Tower is back.
Best of Luck.

Another heat advisory today. Stay safe Sterling!
July 22nd, 9:11 am
At around 7:30PM on Sunday the volunteers of Engine 618, 611, and Truck 611 were alerted along with Engine 624, Battalion Chief 601, and Safety 601 from Loudoun County Fire and Rescue, Engine and Rescue 439, Truck 425, and Battalion Chief 401 from Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, and Medic 625 from Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad for a house fire in Cascades. Units arrived to find no smoke or fire evident, but found some charring around the gas meter. A search found heavy smoke in the basement from a small fire which was quickly extinguished. Other units searched the rest of the house to make sure that everybody was safely out and that the fire hadn't spread elsewhere. Once these tasks were completed smoke removal was started and the scene was turned over to the Fire Marshal for investigation. Canteen 611 responded to provide refreshment for crews operating in the heat. During this incident many Loudoun units were working at a large hay bale fire in Aldie.
