🚒❤️ MORE THAN A DEPARTMENT… WE’RE FAMILY ❤️🚒
Some of the most meaningful moments in the fire service happen when the calls are over, the gear is put away, and we get to come together simply to celebrate the people who make our department what it is.
Last night was one of those special moments. ❤️
We gathered as a family to reflect on another year of accomplishments, recognize the dedication of our members, and celebrate the milestones that mean so much to all of us.
Behind every year of service are sacrifices made, friendships built, lessons learned, and a commitment to being there when our community needs us most.
Every milestone deserves recognition, but we want to take a special moment to acknowledge some incredible achievements! 👏
🏅 15 Years — Alex Cranton
🏅 30 Years — Rob Lawrie
🏅 35 Years — Chip Wiles
🏅 45 Years — Brian Oliver 😳👏❤️❤️❤️
45 years! Let that sink in for a moment!
To each of you, thank you for your years of dedication, the sacrifices made, the knowledge shared, and the commitment you’ve shown to this department and the community we proudly serve.
And here’s something pretty amazing…
❤️ When we added up the years of service among our members, we reached an incredible 415 YEARS of combined service to ARVFD!
That’s 415 years of showing up, answering the call, supporting one another, and being there for our community.
Since 1811, we’ve been more than a fire department. We’ve been a family. ❤️🚒
Congratulations to everyone recognized last night. We’re proud of the people who make ARVFD what it is today!
Help us congratulate these members on their incredible milestones! 👏❤️
