Good morning, Facebook,

Just a friendly reminder that WDVFD will be making apple butter again this Saturday, the 26th, for the second weekend in a row! We’ll also be starting to sell last week’s batch at 8 a.m.!

You might wonder what all that gear costs inside a VFD. Here’s a breakdown of the average cost of the gear we wear on a fire:

Turnout Coat and Pants: $2,000 – $4,000 for the heavy, heat-resistant protective clothing.
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA): $5,000 – $9,000 for the air pack, harness, and face mask needed in toxic smoke.
Helmet, Boots, Gloves, and Hood: $1,200 – $2,000 combined for basic head-to-toe personal protection.
Portable Radio: $3,000-$11,000 depending on the communication model and accessories required by the department.

This is just a snapshot of the costs, not including trucks, truck maintenance, building maintenance, and other expenses.

Please come by and grab a jar of apple butter to support your local VFD or share this post!

Also, keep an eye out for our next fundraiser!

A Big Thank You to Our State Representatives & Community Leaders! 🚒

The Winfield District Volunteer Fire Department would like to extend our sincere appreciation to WV State Representatives Phil Mallow and Mike Oliverio, along with former State Representative Mike DeVault and Ernie Van Gilder, for their support of our department and our volunteer firefighters.

We were honored to receive a $10,000 state grant that will allow the Winfield District Volunteer Fire Department to purchase 10 new SCBA bottles. These bottles are an essential piece of equipment that our firefighters rely on when entering dangerous environments to protect lives and property.

While the check pictured here is a state grant—not a personal donation—we are extremely grateful to everyone who helped secure these funds and support our department. Investments like this directly improve the safety and capabilities of our firefighters and the level of service we can provide to our community.

Thank you to Phil Mallow, Mike Oliverio, Mike DeVault, and Ernie Van Gilder for supporting the Winfield District Volunteer Fire Department and helping us keep our firefighters properly equipped and ready to answer the call.

🚒 From all of us at Winfield District VFD — thank you for supporting your local volunteer firefighters! 🇺🇸

Your WDVFD participated in the Boothsville VFD golf outing. WDVFD shot -15 through 18 holes. Another team shot -15 as well. The scramble went to a putt off. WDVFD was about to putt its way to a win with a putt off! WDVFD brought home 1st place!

Thank you Boothsville VFD for a great event!
