Arcadia Volunteer Fire Company junior firefighters win NVFC Junior Firefighter of the Year Award
Congratulations to the Arcadia Volunteer Fire Company junior firefighters for being selected for the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) Junior Firefighter Program of the Year Award. The award was presented at the NVFC’s Spring Meeting in Alexandria, VA, on May 11, 2013. More than 30 members of the junior firefighters group raised funds to pay their own way to attend the NVFC banquet to receive their award.
The Arcadia Volunteer Fire Company junior firefighter program was established in 2004. Since then, over 50 junior firefighters have graduated from the program, with 90% going on to become firefighters at local departments. Junior firefighters complete extensive training, including certification in CPR, bloodborne pathogens, first aid, and babysitting. They also partnered with other local programs to train and learn about vehicle extrication, aerial operations, water supply, and SCBA.
The department, including the junior firefighters, also participate in community event, such as a holiday “Adopt a Family” event that gives toys and food to underprivileged families. The juniors contribute to department fundraising efforts throughout the year and raise enough funds to support their own program. In 1012, in honor of the fire company’s 100th anniversary, the Arcadia juniors planned and staffed a celebration and parade. Arcadia Volunteer Fire Company’s junior firefighter program is committed to safe and effective training and instilling a spirit of community service in future firefighters.
The MSFA and BCVFA extends our sincere congratulations to the Arcadia Volunteer Fire Company junior firefighters on receiving this prestigious national award from NVFC.
