🚨⚾️ THE BATTLE OF BARBOURSVILLE IS BACK! ⚾️🚨

It’s the battle of the badges, y’all:

🔥 Barboursville Fire Department
vs.
🚔 Barboursville Police Department

📅 Sunday, September 20, 2026
📍 Barboursville Little League Field
⚾️ Doubleheader
🕔 First game: 5:00 PM
🕖 Second game: 7:00 PM

Last year, the cops strutted away with the trophy and enough bragging rights to last an entire year. 🙄 The question is—will they hold onto their championship status, or will the firefighters finally extinguish all that confidence? 👀🔥

Admission is FREE, but donations will be accepted at the field—and this is where the real win happens:

💯 Every single dollar donated will go directly to the PTOs of our five local schools:

📚 Davis Creek Elementary
📚 Nichols Elementary
📚 Village of Barboursville Elementary
📚 Barboursville Middle School
📚 Woody Williams Center

So round up the young’uns, grab the whole holler and come watch your local first responders trade sirens for softballs, professionalism for trash talk and dignity for questionable athletic decisions. 😂

Come cheer us on, support our local schools and help us give back to the students in our community.

Will the cops keep the trophy—or will BVFD finally bring it home where it belongs? 🏆

We hope to see you there, Holler Heathens! 🔥⚾️

🚒 A LITTLE ROADSIDE RESCUE—BVFD STYLE 🚒

Last night, our members responded to the side of I-64 after a gentleman went approximately 12 feet down an embankment.

Using our ladder truck, a rope-rescue system, and a Stokes basket, crews safely retrieved the gentleman and brought him back up to the roadway.

This is exactly why we train. When the terrain gets steep and the situation gets tricky, our members work together, use the right equipment, and get the job done safely.

Just another Monday night of Holler Heathens putting ladders, ropes, teamwork—and probably a little Appalachian ingenuity—to work. 💪🚒

Great job to everyone involved!

🍂🚒 TUESDAY MORNING, HOLLER HEATHENS! 🚒🍂

There’s a little fall chill in the air, which means West Virginia has officially entered hoodie-and-shorts season—because apparently our legs don’t get cold as long as our upper half is cozy. 😂

Enjoy the crisp air, grab the pumpkin-flavored everything, and prepare for all four seasons before supper.

🔥 Keep heaters away from anything flammable.
🚗 Watch for slick leaves and morning fog.
🦌 Keep an eye out for deer planning insurance claims.
📵 Put the phone down and buckle up.
🚒 Move over and slow down for emergency vehicles.

Stay warm-ish, behave yourselves—or at least keep the chaos manageable. We’ve got enough paperwork already.

BVFD: professionally prepared for emergencies and emotionally prepared for hoodie weather. 🍁🦝🚒

🚨 MONDAY MORNING BVFD CHAOS 🚨

Good morning, Holler Heathens! Monday has arrived like a raccoon falling through a ceiling, loud, confused, and already causing problems. 🦝

Grab the coffee, locate your last nerve, and head out the door with a little patience:

☕ Wake up before you drive.
📵 Put the phone down.
🚗 Leave early and slow down.
🚌 Watch for school buses and kiddos.
🚒 Move over for emergency vehicles.
🔒 Buckle up. Your seatbelt doesn’t care that you’re running late.

May your coffee be strong, your coworkers be quiet, and your Monday require absolutely zero interaction with flashing lights.

Stay safe, stay caffeinated, and try not to make us come meet you before lunch.

🏈💚 SUNDAY MORNING: POST-MARSHALL GAME EDITION 💚🏈

The Herd played at home, Huntington survived, and half the county is waking up hoarse, dehydrated, and wondering where they left their dignity. 😂

If you’re headed home, or just now remembering where you parked, buckle up, put the phone down, and drive like your insurance premium already hurts enough.

Today’s Appalachian survival checklist:

🦬 Hydrate like you personally played all four quarters.
🦬 Secure the leftover tailgate snacks.
🦬 Don’t burn yesterday’s trash, couches, or bad decisions.
🦬 Watch for motorcycles, pedestrians, and fellow football zombies.
🦬 Give emergency vehicles room to work.
🦬 And please don’t park at the firehouse.

Enjoy your Sunday, Holler Heathens. Rest up, recover responsibly, and remember:

WE ARE… tired. 😂

🚒 BVFD — protecting the village through football season, questionable decisions, and Sunday morning regret.

☀️ SATURDAY MORNING ROLL CALL, HOLLER HEATHENS! ☀️

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and half of Cabell County has already fired up a mower, climbed a ladder with absolutely no supervision, or said, “Hold my coffee—I can fix that.” 😵‍💫

Before today turns into an episode of Appalachian Rescue: Weekend Edition, here are a few reminders:

🚗 Put the phone down and wear your seatbelt.
🏍️ Look twice for motorcycles.
🔥 Keep grills and fire pits away from anything you’d hate to explain to the fire marshal.
🪜 If the ladder starts wobbling, climbing higher is NOT the solution.
🐾 Keep the critters cool and give those toe beans plenty of water.
🚒 If you see emergency vehicles coming, pull over and let us through.

Enjoy this beautiful Saturday—but try not to become the reason somebody at Station 2 has to put on pants before noon.

Stay sunny. Stay safe. Stay just the right amount of feral. 🤘

DON’T forget to order your Holler Heathens t-shirts!!

🇺🇸 SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 — WE WILL NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation awoke to a beautiful September morning and before the day was over, America had been changed forever.

Nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and United Airlines Flight 93. Thousands of families said goodbye that morning without knowing it would be for the final time. Children grew up without parents, parents buried their children, and an entire nation mourned together.

Amid the fear, smoke, fire, and devastation, extraordinary courage emerged.

Firefighters climbed smoke-filled stairwells carrying heavy equipment while helping others escape. Law enforcement officers, EMS professionals, dispatchers, military personnel, and ordinary citizens stepped forward without hesitation. They did not stop to ask who needed help, where they came from, or what they believed—they simply answered the call.

Among those lost were 343 members of the FDNY, along with law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, and countless others who gave everything in service to someone they had never met. Many more first responders and recovery workers have since lost their lives or continue to battle illnesses caused by their work at Ground Zero.

Their sacrifice did not end when the towers fell.

Today, the Barboursville Volunteer Fire Department remembers every life taken, every family forever changed, every survivor who carries the memories, and every responder who ran toward unimaginable danger while the world watched in disbelief.

We also remember the passengers and crew of Flight 93, whose courage prevented an even greater tragedy. Their final acts reminded us that heroes do not always wear uniforms—sometimes they are ordinary people who make an extraordinary choice.

September 11 showed us the very worst of humanity, but it also revealed the very best: courage, compassion, selflessness, unity, and an unwavering willingness to help a neighbor.

May we remember not only how they died, but how they lived.
May we honor their sacrifice through service and kindness.
May we teach future generations what happened that day.
And may we never forget how our nation stood together afterward.

We remember the fallen.
We honor the heroes.
We stand with the families.
We will never forget.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — Never Forgotten. 🇺🇸

It’s raining, the roads are slick, and multiple accidents have already been reported this morning. Apparently, some folks woke up and chose NASCAR: Appalachian Rain Edition. 🌧️🏁

Slow. It. Down.

📵 Put the phone down.
💡 Turn your headlights on.
↔️ Leave extra stopping distance.
🚗 Don’t tailgate like you’re trying to read their radio station.
🚒 Move over and slow down for emergency crews.

Wherever you’re headed will still be there if you arrive a few minutes late. Your vehicle; and everyone else sharing the road; would greatly appreciate staying in one piece.

Drive like your mama, your insurance agent, and the Holler Heathens are watching. 👀
