On Saturday, Sept. 13, families, friends and other community members gathered in Richmond for the Commonwealth Public Safety Foundation Memorial and an official unveiling of the wall with its newest additions by the Virginia Public Safety Foundation. Nineteen names were added to the wall this year.
Among those names was Trevor Brown, the SVFC Firefighter who died last year in a Sterling house explosion. SVFC Chief Mickey Buchanan was joined by the Brown family, former SVFC Chief David Short, Tech Jesse Michaud, Life Member Andrew Fotinos, and Chaplain Ron Stewart. Also in attendance was Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Acting System Chief Travis Preau and former LCFR System Chief Keith Johnson.
“To the families, friends and colleagues of our heroes, please know that you are not alone,” organizers said. “Your loved ones’ names will forever be etched not only on this wall, but also in our hearts. Their courage and dedication to protecting others will never be forgotten.”

Training for Friday Crew
This past Friday, in between emergency calls, Friday crew got in some good training on Tower ladder operations, engine driver/pump operations, pulling hose, and flowing water from a ground monitor. This training spanned from more experienced firefighters learning new skills to recruit firefighters learning basic skills for firefighting. All in all it was a good night of training!

Still running 4 in? I am the best at tying a knot in that. Lol
Last week the SVFC Apparatus Committee traveled with Matheny Fire & Emergency to Ocala, Florida and the E-ONE Fire Trucks (Official Site) factory to perform a mid-construction inspection on our new Tower. During the visit they saw the ladder being assembled and the body getting installed on the chassis. Everything is on track for a fall delivery. Check out the gallery of photos and videos from the entire build process here: sterlingfire.smugmug.com/2025/Events/Tower-611B
Bob Watts was with you in spirit. He loved going to check construction of new vehicles.
