It’s the people who make Cave Spring Volunteer Fire Department.

Every response. Every duty shift. Every training hour. Every late night and early morning.

Behind the trucks and equipment are volunteers who choose to give their time to serve their community.

They’re your neighbors, truck drivers, mechanics, landscapers, students, business owners, and friends. They come from different backgrounds and different walks of life, but when the tones drop, they come together with one purpose, to serve Cave Spring and the Roanoke Valley.

Recently, members from one of our neighboring career departments utilized Cave Spring’s forcible entry door to sharpen their skills and get some quality hands-on training.

Several of our own members also serve with this department, and we’re proud to share our training props and resources whenever possible. Strong relationships between departments make all of us better prepared to serve our communities.

Last night, our members gathered for our monthly training meeting, where the focus was CPR.

During the session, members completed certification in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR, as well as the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Maintaining these certifications ensures our members are prepared to provide lifesaving care whenever our community needs us.

Training never stops, and we're proud of the commitment our volunteers continue to make to serving the Cave Spring community.

We would like to thank Southwest Virginia Training for instructing our members valuable life saving skills.

Tomorrow morning, we wish Chris Harless the very best as he begins the next chapter of his fire service career by starting Roanoke Regional Fire-EMS Recruit School 42 with Roanoke County Fire & Rescue.

Over the past year, Chris has been a valued member of the Cave Spring Volunteer Fire Department. During his time with us, he earned his firefighter certifications, became a dependable member, and currently ranks among our Top 10 call runners for 2026.

Cave Spring has long been the starting place for many successful fire service careers, and Chris is another example of the dedication, experience, and passion that grows within our department before members continue on to serve their communities in full-time roles.

UPDATE

At approximately 2:25pm units from CSVFD and Roanoke County Fire & Rescue Department responded to reports of a structure fire and possible explosion in the 5100 block of Benois Rd. This business, a mill, specifically is a target hazard for first responders as it poses several unique hazards to responders.

Members from CSVFD responded and brought Ladder 103 fully staffed to the scene. Crews operated on scene for an extended period of time to ensure the fire was completely out.

This incident, while the fire was small, brought a number of resources from across Roanoke County as there were several safety hazards. No civilian or firefighter injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
