The Zion Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department is located near the intersection of Route 15 and Route 250 and Route 15 and Interstate 64. This area is known as Zion Crossroads and is near the counties of Fluvanna, Orange, Albemarle and is close to Goochland county. Our station is responsible for about 13 miles of Interstate 64 and serves a growing population base.
In 2003, the department had outgrown the three bay building and added two more bays and converted one of the existing bays for the day room/kitchen, bunk room and offices. In 2004, the department purchased a new ambulance and officially became a transport agency.
