Join us this week as we celebrate the outstanding service and dedication of the Hampton Division of Fire and Rescue team! All this week, we're sharing content highlighting recent promotions, graduations, awards, and more.

On February 18, 2025, Engine 3 and Medic 3 crews responded to an aggressive dog actively attacking another dog and its owner. The HDFR team successfully intervened, getting the aggressive dog to release the smaller animal. The crew then administered oxygen and first aid before transporting the injured dog to an emergency veterinary clinic.

Although we later learned the injured animal regrettably passed away approximately one week later, the dog's owner expressed profound gratitude for the rapid response and compassionate care provided by our personnel.

Pictured is the team receiving the Silver Medal of Honor for their life-saving efforts (left to right): FF/AEMT K. Stockdale, MMFF A. Fletcher, MMFF M. Pelto, Lt. C. Gagnon, Sr., FF/AEMT A. Whitley, MMFF A. Kempton, and Fire Chief Jason Monk.

On Saturday, September 6, Smithfield Foods sponsored a picnic for their staff and the members of SVFD. As part of that event, Shane Smith, CEO of Smithfield Foods, presented the final check to the department for the purchase of Truck 50 and E50, thereby completing a seven-year commitment from Smithfield Foods. It is a blessing to have great corporate partners like Smithfield Foods that support the community and the volunteer fire service, enabling us to acquire quality equipment to perform our duties.
