What if I have a Medical Emergency?
Your medical emergency or that of a family member may be one of the most stressful times of your life. We understand that.
What if I have a fire?
A fire can be a life-altering, especially if it involves your home or business. Be confident in knowing the VRFA will respond to your emergency as quickly as we can, with the training, resources and compassion needed to handle the situation.
What happens during a car seat inspection?
Taking the steps to protect your child from injuries that can happen in a vehicle crash is something we take very seriously.
Firefighter / Emergency Medical Technician
Beyond fires and medical calls, Firefighter/EMT’s are called upon to perform many other duties.
What if I need a Water Rescue?
If you need a water rescue, we have the training and the tools to make it happen. Our Technical Rescue Specialists aim to remove you from the cold, fast moving water as quickly as possible.
What if I need a Rope Rescue?
The steep hillsides in our area pose many fall hazards. All of our Firefighter/EMT’s receive training in rope rescue. Technical Rescue Specialists receive additional hours of training and drill participation, equipping us with the skills to reach you and bring you up and out of the hazard zone.
What if a brush fire threatens my home?
A quick moving brush fire near your home can be a frightening experience. These types of fires, located in wildland – urban interface areas where homes and forested land meet, require a much different approach than home or business fire.
Support Positions
For those who prefer to work in a rewarding role other than firefighting, we have varied positions throughout the organization.
