50 years of serving the citizens of Amherst County
  Interesting Equipment Tidbits
  • Tanker 1 was purchased primarily for our rural coverage areas.

  • Brush 1 and Squad 6 were designed to be placed side-by-side.
  • MVFD has ordered a New Pierce Impel (Rescue Pumper) with a 750 Gallon tank and 40 Gallon CAF system. This is scheduled to be completed October 2010.
  • MVFD, MVRS & Public Safety went in together to purchase and combine Squad 6 and Rescue 47 into one truck. This new truck was purcahsed from Lynchburg Life Saving Crew. The pictures are soon to come.
