Come learn what the excitement of volunteering is all about!

Please remain at home!

Due to the recent snowstorm, our area is experiencing extremely cold temperatures and hazardous road conditions. Many secondary roads remain covered in ice, making travel dangerous at this time. We are asking the public to limit travel to essential needs only so VDOT crews can safely and effectively continue clearing and treating the roadways. Reducing traffic helps keep motorists, first responders, and road crews safe. Please use caution, allow extra time if travel is necessary, and continue to monitor local updates as conditions improve.

Celebrating America 250 🇺🇸

The Spotsylvania Volunteer Fire Department is proud to serve not only Spotsylvania County, but to be part of the American story as a whole. In 2026, our nation will celebrate 250 years of independence, and we want to celebrate with you.

We INVITE OUR RESIDENTS to share personal reflections on what America 250 means to you. Encourage your child to draw a picture of what America means to them and send to us at PO Box 146, Spotsylvania, VA 22551. Great snow day project!

Do you have photos of loved ones in Spotsylvania County who are 99, 100 years old—or older? We would be honored to include those as well.

These quotes and photos will be compiled and featured in our Spotsylvania County Stars & Stripes display later this summer.

You may respectfully share your submissions in the comments below, or email them to secsvfd@outlook.com
with “America 250” in the subject line

📸 Pictured here are our firefighters in what we believe is the late 1940s—a reminder that service, sacrifice, and community have always been at the heart of who we are.

We will celebrate our 80th anniversary in 2027! 🚒

Thank you for helping us honor the past, celebrate the present, and look toward the future.

We kindly ask our community, if it is safe to do so, to please help us by keeping fire hydrants clear and accessible.

Listen up, Virginia! Snow, sleet and freezing rain will create treacherous road conditions this weekend. Stay safe by preparing now and avoiding travel once the storm starts.

Our Administrative members assisted with a structure fire yesterday in Fawn Lake by responding with the Air and Light Unit. This unit plays a critical role on the fireground by providing rehabilitation support, including refreshments for firefighters, as well as on-scene air bottle refills. We appreciate the teamwork and dedication shown by all involved.
