 Recently, the Zion Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department open its doors to the students at Open Door Christian School, located in Troy, Virginia. As a part of our ongoing educational and public awareness program, the members of ZCVFD taught proper response techniques if a fire or medical emergency occurs at home. The students were also shown all the equipment the firefighters and EMS personnel use help in different situations. The students and their teachers had a great time looking at all the different trucks and getting to meet Sparky, the ZCVFD Mascot.

This apparatus is a department purchase costing a little more than $200,000 and will be a welcome addition as first-line fire protection to the residents in ZCVFD’s response area.
