Woodbridge, Va. — Women’s history month has long been recognized as an opportunity to showcase the accomplishments made by women in our country. Occoquan Woodbridge Lorton Volunteer Fire Department in Woodbridge celebrates the contributions of women serving our community as firefighters and EMTs.
OWL VFD is proud of the fact that we were one of the first departments in Prince William to include women in the fire service. The vibrancy and quality of our services has been enhanced and their contributions to this department have been dynamic and abundant.
Our department has women making a vital difference in every part of our organization. Women serve as fire fighters, EMT’s, as well as holding leadership positions all the way up to President. OWL VFD women have received national recognition for their service.
We want to thank all of our women members, past and present and welcome future women leaders in our department. We are grateful for your service and sacrifice and are honored to work side by side with you to achieve the mission of OWL VFD. In a letter to our female members, Delegate Rich Anderson summed it up nicely when he said “…the rest of us are able to go about our daily lives and sleep soundly at night knowing that the Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Fire Department family is on duty.”
OWL VFD is one the largest and busiest volunteer fire departments in the United States with over 300 members. OWL VFD provides fire suppression, EMS care, and rescue services to 80,000 residents in our 27-square mile area through the operation of three fire stations.
OWL volunteer Firefighters and EMTs work a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift, five days a week, plus 24/7 holidays and weekends. For more information on OWL VFD, visit owlvfd.org or become a fan on Facebook at Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Fire Department.
