SMALL House, BIG Hearts

Join us as we journey to Evington, VA, to explore the Evington Volunteer Fire Department, proudly serving since 1981. Starting as a modest 500sqft building, the department underwent a significant expansion in 2014, doubling its original size.
Led by the passionate Lieutenant Joshua Jennings, the Evington Volunteer Fire Department stands out as one of the few remaining ALL volunteer fire departments. Not only do they respond to fire calls, but they also operate an EMS responder unit, ensuring comprehensive emergency services for their community.
Nestled in the heart of Campbell County, VA, just 15 miles south of Liberty University, the station boasts impressive facilities. From offices for line officers to a spacious community room and a cozy crew area, it feels like a second home. The large apparatus bay houses an array of essential vehicles including engines, tankers, rescues, and even a hazmat trailer.
Situated on approximately 2 acres of land, the department has ambitious plans for expansion, including a state-of-the-art training facility. Additionally, they operate a small substation for added support, housing another engine to cover their extensive service area.
We were honored to be hosted by Josh and the department, not only for Station Cribs but also for two Station Rigs episodes and a thrilling ride-along. Spending the night at the station provided a genuine insight into the volunteer experience, and we were impressed by their kindness, camaraderie, and top-notch equipment.

i am about 20 mins away from Evington VFD i love the community and its great to finally see my small town on a big channel

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Thanks for watching

[@rp1645]

Thank you for what you do. 😊 Hope you are a volunteer as well. I own a 1971 SeaGrave engine. It is for KIDS to enjoy, get behind the wheel. I fill the Air pack compartment with Fire Extinguisher I carry up to a 50 pounder plus pressure water and one old school hand pump can I have magnetic stickers for Door for Fire Cadets programs that I take the old girl to When the PIO does kids education events, I can stay at events if the in-service Engine that comes, has a Run. That way the kids can still get in my Rig. Plus with the old school jump seats, the cab is straight through. It's a 5 speed Spicer/Dana matched to an 8V-71 Detroit My wife had me run the two pipes up top so smoke is not blowing on kids. This last Christmas I drove Santa ( retired FF) to his hut for big city Community events. 😊

@@rp1645 no I am not a volunteer I decided to join the military but in 3 more years I might become one

[@rp1645]

@@ChasRize Believe me. I was a RESIDENT FF in the mid 70s till the Early 80s. It was a blast living in the Fire Station. Paying no Rent. I stayed lots of money to eventually BUY a home. We got a small amount of Pay for things like a full house clean Day. Back then you got points for calls. So you got TWO checks a year from the district. The big Difference in today's world is all the other special things like ( Haz-Mat) that you need extra training on. The ( EMT) training is great also. Have seen volunteers get jobs with private

Finally your doing someplace in virginia!

[@mooseriddle]

Glad to see that you finally brought Heroes Next Door to Virginia! Lots of interesting developments in the state.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

@mooseriddle Don’t bash Mike like that. He doesn’t just choose where he goes; he gets invited. That’s what so special about this channel. It’s not Mike just deciding on where he visits, but his followers who invite him.

[@kaseybradley6001]

You should do more stations through out central va and reach out to them for invites

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We don’t cold call any longer. They need to reach out to us first with the invite. Too many other already asked for us to cold call stations. We would love to get everyone on our list to visit though. So if you know how to have them reach us please have them do. We would love that

[@firechiefgaming]

You should check out the Kentucky area plenty of fire departments I went there on vacation once and the amount of career staff amazed me, most Fire departments in Kentucky are career based with a few volunteer ones. Also Great Video I like the series where you show different stations across the states.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We need invites from the departments to make that happen

[@Nate-ro8nk]

Are you planning on doing more parts of VA? fairfax county, prince william, Arlington,DC?

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Ya when or if we get the invites. We don’t just show up we have to be invited.

[@Nate-ro8nk]

@HeroesNextDoor Yes, obviously. I think there was a misunderstanding. Do you have any other departments in va already scheduled?

[@HeroesNextDoor]

No not at this time. But some have asked I just have not scheduled any more yet

In Virginia there is a burn ban from February 15th to April 30th. You cannot burn anything until past 4pm due to historic weather conditions and there being high winds during this time

First!

Nice job

[@timplumb21]

They should spin that tank or 180° and have it positioned directly behind the first out engine for structure fires instead of having it going out the back door that makes no sense

[@timplumb21]

And the UTV trailer should be directly behind the brush truck and the Hazmat trailer behind that and the big rescue should be parked behind your main Rescue Unit the Silverado the Silverado should be in front of the big rescue in the big rescue should be behind the Silverado if your Silverado is truly your main medic unit. The tankers behind the right vehicle but is pointed the wrong way it's behind the engine just spin it 180 so they can just come out the same door for a structure response that's just common sense

[@caseyjennings8863]

They have it set to their needs and what works for them! What works for some stations doesn’t work for all, just like anything else :)
