The Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System (LC-CFRS) wants to ensure you and your family have a safe and memorable Fourth of July holiday. Fireworks cause thousands of serious injuries every year, sending adults and children to the emergency room. The LC-CFRS encourages community members to leave fireworks to the experts and attend professionally coordinated fireworks shows instead of using them on your own. If you choose to use fireworks, know the risks, PROCEED WITH CAUTION, and follow these tips!![]()
![]()
DO use only legal fireworks purchased from a retail stand with a Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office permit. DON’T use illegal fireworks. If the label uses descriptors such as “shoots, explodes, flaming,” etc., these are illegal and not permitted for use in Loudoun County.![]()
ONLY use fireworks outdoors, a safe distance away from homes, clear of brush, leaves, and flammables. Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby.![]()
DO maintain constant adult supervision. NEVER allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks.![]()
DO place fireworks on stable ground and ensure the device will not tip over when firing. DON’T light fireworks in your hand or a container and never point or throw fireworks at anyone.![]()
DO soak spent fireworks in water before discarding into a fire-proof container, outside, away from the home. NEVER try to re-light a “dud” or malfunctioning firework.![]()
DO contact the Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office if you need to surrender or dispose of unused fireworks.![]()

“History of the Halligan Bar”![]()
Ask any firefighter their favorite tool, many will say the Halligan.![]()
Do you know the history?![]()
One of the most versatile pieces of equipment used by the fire service today is the "Halligan Bar".![]()
This tool has a rich history surrounding it. Many consider this tool to be one of the greatest advancements in the fire service. Many a great fireman will tell you, if there was only one tool they could take to work on any job, it would be the Halligan.![]()
But, why is that the case? And, where did it come from?![]()
Legends of the Job ~ Deputy Chief Hugh A. Halligan of FDNY![]()
The Halligan was invented in the 1940’s by Deputy Chief Hugh A. Halligan of FDNY. Hugh A. Halligan joined the FDNY on June 16, 1916. He had worked countless jobs on some of FDNY’s busiest engines and ladder trucks as a fireman and later as a Captain. In this time, Chief Halligan worked with the Halligan bar’s two predecessors–The Kelly tool and the Claw tool.![]()
The Claw tool was considered to be one of the first forcible entry tool used by FDNY. This tool had been used on the job since the early 1920’s and was difficult to use. As most had discovered through painful experience, the Claw Tool was heavy and the striking surface was off-centered, making it very dangerous for any firefighter holding it as it was driven into the door.![]()
Then, a Captain from Ladder Company 163, John Kelly, designed the next generation of forcible entry tool to be used by FDNY. Naturally, it was called the Kelly tool. This new tool did not have the large hook with the offset striking surface. The striking surface was inline with the entire bar and had a 90◦ flat surface (the adz) to the end.![]()
The Kelly tool had a couple of downfalls; like the Claw tool it too was welded and still too heavy. And, in those days, firefighters needed to bring both tools to the building due to their specific advantages.![]()
Chief Halligan wanted to design a tool that could be held in one hand; one that would not chip or break at a critical moment; a tool that would not fatigue a firefighter; and one that could be used with safety and full efficiency. After many hours of “trial and error”… the Halligan bar was born.![]()
The Halligan bar was made of cross-drop forged from one piece of No. 4140 (high carbon content) steel, weighed 8 ½ lbs. Comprised of an adz, pick, and fork, the Halligan would prove to be one of the greatest forcible entry tools ever made. The standard issue bar is approximately 30” in length, with a 15/16” shaft shaped into a hexagon for grip.![]()
The fork is a minimum of 6”long taper into two well beveled tines. Spacing between the tines allows for a gas valve to be shut off. The adz has a gentle curve for additional leverage, with a beveled end. In addition to being used to break something, the pick and adz–only when properly used–provide protection to the arms, hands, and body of the holder during forcible entry operations.![]()
As soon as the tool went on the market it was a huge success. The Boston Fire Department was one of the first to place the Halligan bar on every ladder company in their department.![]()
Now...one would naturally think FDNY had been the first to have them issued to their ladder companies. Unfortunately, there was a small problem. It was determined by those in higher places–let’s just say their favorite colors were white and gold–that there was a “conflict of interest” to have a member of the department selling tools or equipment back to the department in which they worked in. The department’s hands were tied and the bars could not be purchased.![]()
However, the bars could be purchased by anyone other than the department itself. Ladder companies across the city began purchasing the Halligan bars with their own money.![]()
The first company in FDNY to receive one was Ladder Company 47. Coincidentally, they were the first due ladder to Chief Halligan’s home in Parkchester, NY.![]()
The 2nd generation and later Halligan bars were printed on the forks with what looks like AM+D6. It is, however, believed to be AMDG, which is a Latin acronym for Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam or “for the greater glory of God.” This Latin phrase was a favorite of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. Pope John Paul II routinely used it in his writings. He would print AMDG in the top left of every page he wrote.![]()
Chief Halligan was a very religious man. It has been told that he would hand make a rosary for each new member coming into the FDNY. After this task became too overwhelming, it was thought that Chief Halligan turned his religious influences into his bars by having each one printed with AM+DG. This way he could spread the word to even more.![]()
Fact? ... Folklore? ...wishful thinking? ... either way it’s a great story. Only Hugh himself knows the true meaning behind this Hieroglyphics. Who cares...the bar speaks for itself!![]()
Most departments who carry the Halligan bar really don’t understand the value of this tool. Unfortunately, too many of us do not get enough opportunities to become confident and proficient in the bar’s use.![]()
Reading this article helps you learn the history of the Halligan bar however, to better UNDERSTAND why it’s the "tool of choice" of many firefighters, one must go to their engine or ladder, take it off...hold it...caress it... detail it.... and most importantly WORK with it.![]()
Never set it down. Bring it everywhere you go. You’ll be surprised how many uses there are for this tool. Then–and only then–will they truly understand the impact the Halligan bar has made in the fire service.![]()

Statement from PVFC Regarding the PPD![]()
![]()
The Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company (PVFC) has been providing emergency response services to the citizens of Purcellville and the surrounding communities for 103 years. In doing so, our volunteer members swear an oath that affirms our dedication to safety and service, accepting the inherent risks that come with the role. As volunteers, we recognize the need for support from both the community and other agencies to safely accomplish our mission. We respect and depend upon those agencies to stand beside us in response—no matter the time of day or the source of the call.![]()
![]()
The citizens of Purcellville have long benefited from the combined efforts of fire, emergency medical, and law enforcement services on our calls. These services are provided from facilities within the town. Rapid, professional response is crucial to protecting the lives and property of our town’s residents and businesses, as well as ensuring the safety of all first responders on scene.![]()
![]()
The Purcellville Police Department (PPD) has been a professional and reliable partner in this effort—a vital leg of our response triad. We are concerned that recent discussions about the efficacy of maintaining the PPD have underappreciated the department’s value, beyond just financial considerations. While we understand that town leadership must juggle many complex issues, the current dialogue appears overly focused on the costs of operating the department. It does not sufficiently account for the benefits—or the potentially serious consequences—of weakening or eliminating this essential component of our emergency response system. These consequences could include loss of life, increased property damage, and diminished public confidence in our ability to respond effectively to emergencies.![]()
![]()
We respectfully request that further discussions on this matter be expanded to include both pre- and post-response considerations, with reflection on the vital role played by the Purcellville Police Department as a key element of our emergency response triad.![]()

![]()
We can't thank the host enough for inviting us to attend. Boulder Crest is a great organization, and we cannot thank them enough for the work they do with our Veteran and First Responder communities.
We want to congratulate FF/EMT Justin Powell on taking the next step in his career, following seven years of dedicated volunteer service to the Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company community. Firefighter Powell graduated today as a career firefighter from the Fairfax County Fire & Rescue Recruit Class 164! Congratulations to you and your family from your extended family at the Purcellville Volunteer Fire Company!

For Immediate Release:![]()
This Weekend We “Spring Forward”, Change Your Clocks & Check Your Smoke Alarm Batteries!![]()
![]()
![]()
Sunday March 9, 2025, we “spring forward” and set our clocks ahead one hour in observance of daylight-saving time. The Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System asks that you also check the batteries in your smoke alarms, carbon monoxide (CO) alarms and practice your home escape plan.![]()
Smoke alarms are on duty, twenty-four hours a day, scanning the air for fire and smoke, always ready to alert your family to a fire. “The best chance for survival during an emergency is to be prepared and to have a plan – this plan includes checking your smoke alarms. It’s critical that these life-saving devices are checked and tested frequently to ensure they’re working properly,” said Deputy Chief Micah Kiger of the Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office. “We recommend that smoke alarms are placed in each bedroom, outside sleeping areas and on every level of the home. CO alarms should also be installed on each level and in hallways outside of sleeping areas. Early warning can provide the lifesaving seconds you may need to escape!” ![]()
Remember, smoke alarms must be maintained! A smoke alarm with a dead or missing battery is the same as having no smoke alarm at all. To keep smoke and CO alarms in optimal condition:![]()
Test smoke and CO alarms monthly.![]()
Clean away any dust or debris from the alarm.![]()
Replace batteries according to manufacturer’s recommendations (alkaline versus 10-year lithium).![]()
Replace all smoke alarms after 10 years OR if the alarm does not respond properly when tested.![]()
The Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System’s Smoke Alarm Program offers free home safety inspections to all residents. If your smoke alarms are broken or outdated, we will replace them with battery powered alarms at no cost and install additional alarms as necessary. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call the smoke alarm hotline 703-737-8093 or visit www.loudoun.gov/smokealarms. ![]()
Last but certainly not least, every household needs a home escape plan! As a household, identify two possible exits routes for each room and designate a safe meeting place outside. Try this easy home escape planning tool from the National Fire Protection Association! For more information on fire prevention and life safety resources in Loudoun County, please visit www.loudoun.gov/firemarshal or call 571-258-3222.

The Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Fire Marshal's Office reminds community members that open burning is restricted in Loudoun County between Saturday, February 15, 2025, and Wednesday, April 30, 2025. The regulations, which prohibit open air fires, or open burning as it is commonly referred to, between the hours of midnight and 4 p.m., are enforced by the Loudoun County Fire Marshal and the Virginia Department of Forestry. Known as the “4 p.m. Law,” these restrictions are in place due to the potential for rapid fire spread across woodland and grassland areas because of dry outdoor fuels, high winds and temperature increases that are normally present in the late winter and early spring season.![]()
During this period, residents may only conduct open burning between the hours of 4 p.m. and midnight, subject to other restrictions. Open air fires for leaves, trees, brush, yard, and garden trimmings generated on site are allowed between 4 p.m. and midnight, except in the town limits of Lovettsville, Middleburg, Purcellville, Round Hill, and urban or built-up areas throughout the County and in the Town of Leesburg. Ensure that any permissible outdoor burning is conducted at least fifty feet away from any structure. ![]()
People conducting open burning must contact the Loudoun County Emergency Communications Center at 703-777-0637 prior to igniting a fire and at the end of the burning. Fires may not be added to after midnight. Those involved are responsible, at all times, to ensure the fire is kept under control and that it is attended to by a competent adult, 18 years of age or older, with provisions immediately available to extinguish the fire. ![]()
The Loudoun County Fire Marshal may impose regulations, at any time, based upon complaint, atmospheric or other environmental circumstances, to restrict or extinguish any fire that is otherwise permitted according to these guidelines. Any person who violates the fire code could be convicted of a Class 1 misdemeanor, which carries a penalty of a fine up to $2,500.00 and up to a year in jail. If convicted, a person may be required to compensate the locality for the full costs of fighting a fire.![]()
Questions regarding open burning regulations and the “4 p.m. law” should be directed to the Loudoun County Fire Marshal's Office website www.loudoun.gov/firemarshal or by calling 703-737-8600.
