We are deeply saddened and heartbroken by the passing of Chuck Meadows, former WVFD Fire Chief and Board of Director’s member. Beginning in 1992, Chuck was a founding member of our sub-station when it was put into service in the north end of our fire district to better serve the Frazier’s Bottom community. He held many roles in the fire service, working his way up to the Fire Chiefs position which he held for 4 years. Though he took a break from the fire service for a while, he was ever present around the station and especially on MVC’s with his role with Hurricane Wrecker. He was always eager to lend a helping hand and pass on his vast knowledge of auto extraction. You could always count on the job getting done quickly and precisely when Chuck was around. In later years he came back to WVFD to serve on our Board of Directors, only stepping down in late 2025 due to illness. Chuck will be greatly missed, but his memory will live on through the many young firemen he impacted during his time in emergency services. Please keep his wife Judy and the rest of their family in your prayers for the days and months to come.
