Please keep our brothers and sisters at Augusta Volunteer Fire Department in your thoughts and prayers, along with Brent’s family, during this difficult time. Brent was also a lifetime member and previous Chief of Slanesville Volunteer Fire & Rescue and will be greatly missed.

It is with great sadness that the Augusta VFC announces the passing of our Deputy Chief, Brent Swisher. Please join us in praying for his wife, Kathleen and daughter Victoria.
