Tower 611 Bravo Training
Members of the SVFC and Loudoun County Fire and Rescue spent time over the last 3 days with trainers from E-ONE Fire Trucks (Official Site) and Matheny Fire & Emergency learning the finer points of our new 2025 E-One 100 foot ladder tower. While designed to be similar to Tower 611 (2021), much has changed in the last 4 years. This is one of the last steps before putting her in service. If all goes according to plan she'll be serving Sterling soon.

Vehicle Accident for Monday Volunteers
While at Station 18 training a new recruit Tower 611 was alerted along with Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad Medic 625 for a vehicle collision. The 911 caller wasn't there but reported hearing the sounds of the crash from their nearby home. Upon arrival the Tower crew blocked traffic, secured the vehicles, stopped the flow of liquids, and cleaned up debris to open up as much of the roadway as possible while still keeping all those involved and responding safe. Medic 625 evaluated all occupants and returned to service after determining no medical care was needed. This is a testament to the ability of modern vehicle engineering, airbags, seat belts, and other safety systems to keep occupants safer during an incident. The scene was turned over to Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

Today we pause to honor those who have served in the United Stated Armed Forces. The SVFC and many of the area fire and rescue organizations are a place where many veterans have found an additional purpose, and we are so grateful for their service to our communities. Thank you to all veterans for your commitment and your sacrifices in service to our country!
