The Danville VFD has scheduled its annual summer outing for Sunday, July 20, 2008 from 7p-10p at Water Ways Park. All members are welcome to attend the summer outing. This is a way to show our appreciation to our firefighters for doing a job that's not meant for mere humans.

As the warm months of 2008 are upon us, I believe it is time to give everyone a little reminder about ATV Safety. As we all know, ATVs can be both enjoyable and dangerous to even the most experienced riders, this is why we should all wear our protective clothing, gear, and be ever vigilant of our surroundings, weather, and potential hazards. It is also important to remember that riding impaired due to alcohol or drugs is not safe and should be avoided by all means. In closing we ask that all ATV riders be safe and enjoy themselves. As always, thank you for your continued support of the Danville Volunteer Fire Department.

In 2007 the Danville Vol. Fire Department responded to a total of 558 emergency calls for service. We would like to take a moment to thank everyone that assisted us in our evergrowing endeavor to better serve our community and surrounding areas. We would like to thank all of the fire departments that assisted us on emergency calls, we appreciate all your help. Also we would like to thank Eastern Associated Coal Company and Massey Energy for their monetary contributions to the D.V.F.D.

Beginning Tuesday, January 8, 2008 there will be a WV Firefighter Section I Class held at the Danville Fire Department. The class will begin at 1800hrs and end at 2200hrs and will run consecutively on every Tuesday and Thursday until the final exam on Thursday, February 14, 2008. If you have any questions regarding the class, please fill free to contact Joey Smith at the Fire Dept. (304)369-0232.

The Danville VFD has set their Annual Christmas Dinner and Awards Banquet for Saturday, December 15, 2007. Anyone that plans to attend this dinner should RSVP to John Holstein, Fire Chief or Joey Smith, Admin. Secretary by no later than December 1, 2007 so we can have an accurate count for food for each person attending the dinner.

Hello and welcome back to the "old homepage" of the Danville Vol Fire Dept. We hope to add more content soon, including pictures, stories, training & safety info. Check back in a couple days. The calendar should be updated shortly with new events coming up in our schedule.

In the meantime, you'll need to go ahead and register once again. I've updated the site and we're running a brand-new backend. The old database didn't make the trip to the new server, so your account settings were lost.

John Holstein, Chief
