This past Saturday, the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company held our annual Officer Installation and awards banquet.
Founded in 1966, the SVFC also celebrated 60 years of service to our community.
We enjoyed hearing some of our history from past Chiefs Tommy Owens and David Short.
Assistant Chief Travis Preau of Loudoun County Fire and Rescue and Christi Maple, Chief of Staff for Supervisor Koran Saines, also shared words of insight and appreciation.
We were honored to have Deputy Chief Todd Lupton of the LCFR issue the oath to our Board of Directors and operational line officers.
Attendees enjoyed a year in review video, which can be viewed here: youtu.be/klAugDpzAqo
And we celebrated the following members for receiving this year's awards:
James Wachter - Recruit Firefighter of the year
Jae Park - Al Dutton Firefighter of the year
Jamie Lockhart - Technician of the year
Brendan Brooks - Officer of the year
David Payne - Associate of the year
David Turner - Associate Impact Award
We would like to extend our appreciation to our career partners with LCFR for staffing the fire stations while we celebrated!

This morning, Sterling Volunteer Fire Company volunteers joined the Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Fire Marshal’s Office for a smoke alarm canvass in the Cascades community.
Working smoke alarms save lives. Today was about making sure neighbors have that early warning—and sharing simple, practical fire-safety guidance that helps families get out faster when seconds matter.
Thank you to everyone who gave their Saturday to prevention, education, and community connection.
