Retirement of FF Mike Wayson
A fond farewell and a heartfelt THANKS go out to Mr. Mike Wayson, who recently retired from the WVFD after giving 36 years of service to the community. During his tenure, Mike served in every position within the Department, from Firefighter to Fire Chief. After his brief speech, he was treated to a complete standing ovation from the entire membership. He was then presented with a commemorative plaque and his helmet, signed by all the members. Those small tokens pale in comparison to the contributions Mike made to this Department.
Enjoy your retirement, Mike!

New 4 bay garage, tower, and confined space trainer.
We have contracted with Design construction company to build a 4 bay garage behind our Vinton Station to house the Training Academy Pumper (old Pumper 1, once the new Pumper 1 arrives), and the ISU (this rig will hold all training equipment) In addition they will erect a 150 foot tower to simulate radio antennas, and above ground water tank rescue situations. Finally they will install a underground vault which will be accessible via 2 manhole covers. This will allow us to train in confined space rescue. These additions will be completed by March 2009.
