Parksley Volunteer Fire Company reports 154 ambulance calls, seeks grant for command vehicle
Summary
PVFC President Daryn Fussel told the Parksley Town Council that PVFC responded to 154 ambulance calls and 30 fire calls last month, is applying for a grant to buy a command vehicle, and has ongoing training and community events including a Nov. 9 craft fair.
Daryn Fussel, president of the Parksley Volunteer Fire Company, reported to the Parksley Town Council on Oct. 14 that PVFC handled 154 ambulance calls and 30 fire calls during the last reporting period and is applying for a grant to purchase a new command vehicle.
Fussel said the department completed safety and disaster training, reported that the town siren has been repaired and is operational, and noted an ongoing fire class with 14 attendees. He also told the council that the PVFC plans to provide hot dogs at this year’s Trunk or Treat and that a Craft Fair is scheduled for Nov. 9, 2024.
The report, delivered during the council’s department and council reports segment, did not include a timeline for the grant decision or a dollar amount for the requested command vehicle. PVFC’s operational figures and the grant application will likely be among items for council or public follow-up in a future meeting.
The council took no formal vote on the PVFC report; Fussel’s remarks were received as informational. The Craft Fair date and PVFC’s community-support plans were the most immediate items noted by council members.
