Zion Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department is the proud recipient of a new fire truck. Tanker 7 is a 2008 Pierce Kenworth T-370 Tanker will carry 3,000 gallons of water and will be powered by a 360 horsepower Cummins engine and a 500 gallon per minute Darley
pump. It will also be equipped with a 10” electronic dump valve for
quick release of water at fire scenes. The new Tanker 7 will also have
two 200’ inch-and-three-quarter speed lays and an
inch-and-three-quarter front mounted trash line.
"This is a really great looking truck," Bywaters said. "It will also add an additional layer of protection to the residents of our growing community." This is the second new apparatus (Engine 7-1 ) to be acquired by the department in the last 2 months and should be in service by August 12th.
Tanker 7 is a ZCVFD department purchase through Singer Associates Fire Equipment in Manassas, VA.

 I did a little number crunching last night to see how we were comparing in running EMS calls over the last few months. Keep in mind that we’re a tiny itty bitty little station with a new EMS program (5 years old). In fact, we only have 4 EMTs that are currently trained to run EMS calls.
So looking at the last two years versus this year, we’re only at about a 288% increase in EMS calls run. Seriously, that’s a huge difference. Last year we had 3 providers running calls, and this year we have one more person. That’s 4 EMTs making difference. And just think, we’re training new members to run calls and our membership drive is up. Imagine if we added just 2 more this year and maybe 3 more EMTs next year. The county call volume has gone up some over last year, but the fact that ZCVFD is now able to help out, we're able to rely less on the other agencies and help balance the call volume.
What do these numbers mean? That this itty bitty station in a vastly growing region can make a difference and help save lives. And that’s really what it boils down to. Why aren’t you helping us out? We need your help. Make a difference with us.
