Farrington Volunteer Fire Department

"With tools in our hands and hose in the street." Volunteers run duty crews that supplement the Career staff.

Personnel:
All day, every day, Career Firefighters are on duty at Station 11, and they staff the appropriate apparatus depending on the calls for service (Engine, Medic, Tanker, Brush jeep). Whether Career or Volunteer, Hanover-Fire EMS and FVFD hold high standards for its members. As such, all entry Firefighters must have completed Firefighter I&II, Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations, a

nd Mayday: Firefighter Down training. Entry Firefighters are referred to as “Yellow Helmets,” as having a yellow helmet means the Firefighter is qualified to go into the interior of a structure on fire. In addition to the Yellow Helmets, FVFD has “Blue Helmets” on staff. While still Firefighters, these personnel may not enter a structure where a self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required. Blue Helmets are a great asset and work alongside Yellow Helmets to provide emergency medical services (EMS) care, perform exterior Firefighting operations, assist with patient care during motor vehicle accident response, and many other calls. Equipment:
FVFD is primarily an engine company and houses Engine 11, Tanker 11, Brush 11, Car 11, and Ambulance/Medic 11. Engine 11 holds 750 gallons of water and can pump 2000 gallons per minute and is the primary apparatus of the company. Ambulance/Medic 11 may be run as a basic life support (BLS) unit or advanced life support (ALS) unit depending on the level of the providers on board. Tanker 11 holds 2000 gallons of water and its primary purpose is to assist with rural water supply in areas that don't have fire hydrants installed. Brush 11 is a Jeep that is used to access off road areas. Car 11 is used for many tasks, including training and transportation of personnel.

Emergencies don't take holidays. Thank you to all the essential workers (including those not listed below) who don't take them, either.

Wildfire Season has arrived.

Nine out of ten wildfires are caused by humans. That means nine out of ten wildfires can be prevented.

Wildfires are unplanned and unwanted fires that are very dangerous to people who use forests and outdoor areas or live in nearby homes and communities. Wildfires also wreak havoc on our natural environment, harming plants and animals, and their habitat.

Unlike many natural disasters, most wildfires are caused by people – and can be prevented by people, too. The easiest and cheapest way to suppress a fire is before it starts. The Virginia Department of Forestry (DOF) maintains a multi-faceted program of fire prevention, which includes person-to-person contacts, media contacts, exhibits, fire prevention programs to schools, and presentations to civic organizations and other groups. The aim of these efforts is to keep the public “fire prevention conscious”. The programs encourage cooperation with public agencies with similar goals and inform the general public of current and potential wildfire danger.

Practice Safe Debris Burning
Escaped debris burning is a prime cause of wildfires in Virginia. DOF works to educate citizens about when, where, and how to safely burn debris.

Daniel Clatterbuck joined the Farrington Volunteer Fire Company in March of 2020 after being encouraged by other members of Hanover Fire-EMS. Dan was inspired by his father, a veteran of the Vietnam War. He wanted to give back to the community where he lives. He graduated in October of 2021 as a member of Hanover Fire Academy #58. Since this time, Dan has traveled across the state and received training in various disciplines to enhance his skills, including vehicle rescue and engine company tactics. Dan became one of the first volunteers in recent memory to become a cleared driver-pump operator in Hanover, and he gives his time weekly at Station 11.

Outside of the fire department, Dan worked in NASCAR from 1997-2002 as a machinist before eventually moving into the utility marking industry. He founded PipeVision, a pipe inspection and service company in 2010 and sold the company in 2019. Since 2014, he has owned Master Graphics, which provides decal services to private businesses and many area emergency service agencies.

Dan lives in the Farrington district and enjoys classic cars, racing, and spending time in the Outer Banks. Recently, he was nominated and chosen as the 2025 Doswell Ruritan Club's Volunteer Firefighter of the Year. We are so proud to have Dan volunteer at our firehouse.

Our Story

Personnel: Beginning June 2018, Career Firefighters are on duty at Station 11 twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Career and Volunteer staff respond with the appropriate apparatus depending on the call for service. All Firefighters are CPR certified, many are EMTs, and some are Advanced Life Support providers.
