Lake Monticello Volunteer Fire Rescue concludes successful Fund drive

Highlights from the past year include:
The recent Virginia Office of Emergency Services review of Lake Monticello Volunteer Rescue Squad which said, “your agency exceeds expectations and … (is) a model agency that sets the standard for others.” They went on to praise the department’s “excellence and attention to detail.”
The rescue squad has more than 50 members running weekly 12 hours shifts in order to provide 24/7 coverage, running more than 65% of all EMS calls in Fluvanna County over the last two months.
The continued high quality fire response provided by Lake Monticello Volunteer Fire Department resulted in an increased rating by the Insurance Services Office. This improved rating is saving some citizens in our first due area as much as $100 annually on their homeowner’s insurance.
Just this year, members of our departments have been recognized by the Thomas Jefferson Emergency Management Services Council, the American Legion and the University of Virginia Medical Center for the excellence of care they provide.
These accomplishments as well as the ability to meet the needs of our citizens would not be possible without the steadfast community support demonstrated by the recent fund drive. Combined with the tremendous time and dedication shown by our volunteers, we look forward to continuing to serve Fluvanna County.
