Crozet Volunteer Fire Department

6 days ago

Tuesday's duty crew spent the evening testing our equipment and doing drafting training at Mint Springs Park. Drafting is a rural water supply method of refilling or supplying water from a lake, stream, or pool. We do this when fires occur in rural areas that do not have access to fire hydrants. This training is extremely important because most of the area covered by our station does not have hydrants. When drafting is required it normally means there is a significant structure or wildland fire, it is critical we are able to establish a water source quickly and without equipment malfunctions. Although this may seem fairly straightforward there are entire courses dedicated solely to rural water supply.

We are looking to grow our operational members. If you are interested in learning more about volunteering message or email us at crozetfirerecruiting@gmail.com ... See MoreSee Less

Introducing Captain Justin Mathews. Justin runs on our Monday night duty crew and has a passion for training. Justin is a career firefighter for the city of Waynesboro who has lived in Crozet for the past 4 years. Within our department Justin plays a big role in keeping our skills sharp with monthly training goals and drills for our duty crews. Outside of the station Justin enjoys hiking, mountain biking, and racing cars. More importantly though he is a father to a 18 month old daughter and will be welcoming a new baby this summer. To quote Justin - "I still like to get my adrenaline fix, but fatherhood has become my greatest passion". We thank Justin for his time and commitment to our department.
