He was diagnosed 12/2018 and immediately taken to UVA to begin the 803 days of treatment for what we know now is standard risk Acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Crozet Volunteer Fire Department

See Junior Firefighter Emily Sposato's article below from the Albemarle County Fire Rescue's Winter edition of "Sirens" newsletter.

The Crozet Junior Department is a unique group of 16- and 17 year-olds dedicated to protecting Crozet alongside the adult members of CVFD. Despite our age, we train and run calls alongside the rest of the department. The majority of the Junior Members come from the local high school and arrive at the department with a budding passion for the trade of firefighting. The Junior Department has our own monthly meetings, our own bank account, and we conduct our own fundraising. For example, in early December we made various desserts and held a bake sale. We raised over 1,300 dollars, which we immediately used to buy an essential item: CVFD-themed sweatpants. Money well spent.

Currently, the Junior Department is made up of six members: Cole Albee, Emily Sposato, CJ Thorp, Ryan Knutsen, Kieran Garrod, and Ethan Powell. The department is advised by senior members Lieutenant Chris Rivera and Firefighter Zach Simpson. Various juniors can be found at Station 5 nearly every weekend, and most days of the week. Three of the six juniors have taken the County’s Firefighter 1 course, and the other three are signed up to take the next class. In December 2020, the juniors had 45 call credits, out of 57 total calls.

Beyond the scope of facts and numbers, the Junior Department program has been a great success on multiple levels. The juniors are some of the most eager people at the department, and the impact that the CVFD has on the character of their teenager members is immeasurable. There are former juniors that are currently serving in the armed forces, striving towards degrees in college, and working as career firefighters in Albemarle County.

Almost all junior members go on to become senior members at the CVFD and continue to volunteer for years after their time as a junior. In fact, both Lieutenant Rivera and Firefighter Simpson started their firefighting careers as juniors. The majority of the current juniors want to be career firefighters, members of the military, or continue volunteering as adults. I can personally attest that the CVFD Junior Program has provided me with an opportunity to meet new people and learn things about myself and the world around me that I would’ve never learned otherwise. It’s been life changing, and I think it would be amazing if more stations had the same opportunities for 16 and 17-year-olds to volunteer at their departments.
