 <![CDATA[Mayor Bob Lazaro administered the oath of office to the leadership of the Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company at its 88th annual banquet.&nbsp; Sworn in as Fire Chief was Bob Dryden, a veteran of PVFC.&nbsp; He was elected by the members of the company to lead the volunteer fire fighters for a two year term.This year's banquet was a "homecoming" of sorts for the members of the company. Held at the historic Tabernacle in Purcellville, a facility the fire company once owned.&nbsp; Construction and other factors meant the members of the fire company were unable to use the facility for the last several years.PVFC membership now tops 100 volunteers, who serve the town of Purcellville and the surrounding area.&nbsp; More photos can be found by going to the Photo Albums tab on the left panel....]]>

 	<title>Thanks for Supporting Our Annual  Christmas Tree Sale Fund Raiser </title>
  	<category>News</category>

 <![CDATA[Thanks for making our Christmas Tree Sales Fund Raiser a success this year!&nbsp; In the weeks prior to Christmas, we sold 850 Christmas Trees to our neighbors and friends in one of our most important fund raising events.&nbsp; Large and small, the trees sold at a pace that rivaled years' past. Wreaths and roping were the first to be sold out, followed by our special, first in a series Christmas Ornaments.&nbsp; Funds raised from the sale go to help defray costs associated with operating the volunteer fire company -- fuel for our trucks, equipment for our firefighters and for apparatus.&nbsp; We could not exist without the generous support of our community. Thank You....]]>

 	<title>Annual Neighborhood Fund Drive</title>
  	<category>News</category>
 <link>http://www.purcellvillefire.org/news/fullstory/newsid/147094</link>
 <description>
  
 <![CDATA[&nbsp;Eighty eight years ago, a small group of citizens established The Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company (PVFC)&nbsp; following a series of disastrous fires, which virtually wiped out the business district.&nbsp; The Fire Company was comprised of volunteers â farmers, laborers, professionals, neighbors all â who gave of their time and talents to protect their community and make it a better place to live, work and raise a family.Today, things havenât changed much â except that the community has grown and prospered and the Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company has grown from a handful of citizens to more than 100 strong.

But one thing remains, the men and women of the your local Fire Company are your neighbors who give of their time and talent to protect our community.&nbsp;&nbsp; During the day, they work as mechanics and technicians, business owners and teachers â just like you.&nbsp; They help make up the fabric of this place we call homeâ Purcellville.

&nbsp;Now, we need your help.&nbsp; The money required to keep the volunteer protection in our community continues to increase.&nbsp; The cost of fuel for our fire trucks, to heat and keep the lights on at the Safety Center, the cost for protective wear for our firefighters and all the other expenses related to operating a first class fire protection service, is paid for by the Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company.&nbsp;

We raise funds throughout the year through various methods and events.&nbsp; For example, our Christmas Tree sales generate money to help defray operating costs.&nbsp; And while the county and town provide some financial assistance, we still need to turn to our neighbors for their support through our Annual Neighborhood Fund Drive.Please consider making a generous donation today. &nbsp;You can mail a check to: Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company, PO Box 386, Purcellville, VA 20134, or make a secure donation online with your credit card by using&nbsp; PayPal.Thank you for your continued support....]]>

 	<title>Blues N BBQ Event Draws Hundreds to Safety Center</title>
  	<category>News</category>
 <link>http://www.purcellvillefire.org/news/fullstory/newsid/145270</link>
 <description>
  
 <![CDATA[



















If thereâs one thing for certain, when you combine barbeque,
blues music and a good cause, youâll attract hundreds of local residents.&nbsp; And, thatâs exactly what happened last
Saturday as more than 450 people turned out for the Blues N BBQ event at the
Purcellville Safety Center.

&nbsp;

Hosted by the Restored Life Fellowship Church, the event was
for the benefit of the Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company and the Purcellville
Volunteer Rescue Squad.&nbsp; Although
admission was free, contributions received during the event will go to help
defray expenses incurred by the volunteer fire and rescue organizations as they
protect the community.

&nbsp;

Music was provided by the Gary Smallwood Band, a local group
that has gained acclaim for its blues music.&nbsp;
Food was prepared by members of the church and included pulled pork â
some 300 pounds of it â hot dogs, beans and other summer barbeque favorites.

&nbsp;

During a break in the music, members of the Purcellville
Volunteer Fire Company and the Purcellville Volunteer Rescue Squad were honored
with a round of applause.

&nbsp;

In attendance were Purcellville Mayor Bob Lazaro, Loudoun
County Supervisor Jim Burton, Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Chief Keith
Brower,&nbsp; Loudoun Circuit Court Clerk Gary
Clemens and town council members.

 	<title>Town Recognizes New Vounteer Firefighters</title>
  	<category>News</category>
 <link>http://www.purcellvillefire.org/news/fullstory/newsid/141278</link>
 <description>
  
 <![CDATA[



















Fourteen new volunteer firefighters were
recognized by the Purcellville Town Council at its meeting recently.



Recognized by the Mayor and
Council for their accomplishment were:&nbsp; Alex Bennett, Conor Cosgrove, Cyrus
Dennis, Joshua Kyriazi, Grant Marshall, Ashlynne Meiklejohn, Tyler Moxley,
Jackson Page, Brandon Powell, Stephanie Salomon, Jamie Stephens, Pierce Taylor,
Stephanie Yocum and Lisa Braun.



The new volunteer firefighters have committed
over 160 hours of basic firefighting training â either through the County every
weekend for one whole day and two nights each week for 5 months&nbsp; to complete the State and County mandated
requirements for firefighters. &nbsp;



In addition to mastering basic firefighting
skills, they also concluded specialized training in vehicle extraction and
rescue, LP gas emergencies, and emergency firefighter extrication techniques.
All of this is in addition to approximately 40 hours of Company-required
training prior to fire school&nbsp; and
additional required County training in hazardous materials operations.



Company 2 has added 49 new certified volunteer
firefighters to its rolls since 2007, with an additional 13 recruits currently
in or about to begin fire training in this yearâs cycle.



All of these firefighters are assigned to a
duty crew and have been operating as a member of that crew since their
induction to the Company many months ago, helping to provide 24/7 professional
firefighting coverage for our community. They join a volunteer Company now over
100 members strong, providing over 35,000 volunteer hours in duty crew time per
year alone (excluding training hours noted above), serving the Town of
Purcellville and outlying areas.&nbsp; Those
hours translate into a savings of about $2.8 million in salaries and benefits
based on the compensation package of an entry level firefighter in this
County.&nbsp;

Thanks to the community for helping to make our Golf
Tournament a huge success.

&nbsp;Nearly 90 local residents and business owners took to the
links on Monday to play a round of golf in support of the Purcellville
Volunteer Fire Company.&nbsp; This was the
companyâs second annual event.



&nbsp;This year the tournament was held at the Loudoun Golf and
Country Club in Purcellville.&nbsp; And,
despite all the wet weather weâve been having here in the Valley, the rain held
off until after the tournament and the awards dinner â held outside on the
patio.



&nbsp;In addition to the winning golf team, contests included
closest to the pin, longest drive, a putting competition and the longest drive
of a marshmallow.&nbsp; 



&nbsp;Numerous local businesses contributed money and gifts as
part of the fund raising efforts.&nbsp; Among
the raffle items were a flat panel television, a multi-fuel stove, and an
autographed Redskins football.



And the Winners Are...

Winning Team:&nbsp; âLeesburg Business Forumâ - John Bennett,&nbsp; Mike Castellano,&nbsp; Steve Douglass, Jeff Eveland













&nbsp;Longest Drive: John McDonald









Marshmallow Drive
Contest: Kyle Watson









Closest to the pin: Beverly Chaisson, Matt Smith











Putting Contest: Gloria Elliott










The Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company serves the town of
Purcellville and the surrounding area.&nbsp;
It is part of the combined professional/volunteer fire and rescue system
in Loudoun County. Events, such as the golf tournament, provide financial
support to the Company to buy and maintain fire apparatus and equipment.&nbsp; Formed in 1923, the Company has more than 100
local volunteers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company
has joined forces with more than 23,000 other volunteer fire departments across
the country in the Power Those Who Protect Us battery donation program created
by Duracell, in partnership with the National Volunteer Fire Council.

&nbsp;

The program helps build greater
awareness around the challenges volunteer firefighters face on a daily basis
and the need to help support them. 

&nbsp;

The Power Those Who Protect Us battery
donation program lets consumers give back to local volunteer firefighters, like
those in Purcellville who devote countless hours of their free time to
protecting our communities. When consumers purchase specially marked CopperTop
battery packs, Duracell will make a battery donation to volunteer fire departments
to help power communication devices and life-saving equipment. By going to
www.duracell.com/protect, or facebook.com/duracell donations can also be
earmarked to local departments by zip code. With the help of consumers, the
program goal is to provide 10 million batteries to the 23,000 volunteer fire
departments in the U.S. in order to help power devices and life-saving
equipment used to keep volunteer firefighters and their communities safe. View the Duracell Commerical.
