On Monday June 16th, 4 members of the Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company graduated from the Winter/Spring LCCFR Fire/EMT Recruit school.

We celebrate not just everyone’s successful graduation, but the beginning of a lifelong commitment to serve and protect. Firefighters and EMTs run toward danger, bring calm to chaos, and give hope in the darkest moments. CONGRATULATIONS!  You’ve earned your badge—not just through hard work, but through heart.
