Easy access to SOP and SOG

Company only news (remember- what is said in meetings stays in the family)

That special picture of a company officer being "recognized" on her birthday

And anything else that needs to be available on a limited basis.



If you have such submissions or suggestions please let us know. More functionality is planned but not yet running.

Quick. Before you get busy checking out the rest of our site please take a moment to go to our guestbook. At the bottom of the menu to the menu to the right is the link. We would love to hear from our friends so sign in and say hello.

After a few months of awaiting test results and anticipating the arrival of certificates, our department is proud to announce that we have seven new firefighters. An endeavor that began in early September 2009 finally culminated on February 22nd with the presentation of certificates from the State. Perhaps more significant to the recruits was the achievement of receiving their "yellow helmet". Wearing this colo helmet is a symbol that these folks are now firefighters and no longer trainees. This change of gear is a proud moment for the individual student. It is also a proud time for Namozine as well since all of our students were succesful at completing the academy. We are proud of the 100% pass rate, but we are even more proud of the efforts and dedication shown by these folks.

                                Congratulations                               

Virginia's 4:00 p.m. Burning Law goes into effect on February 15 and lasts until April 30th.
 

You can read the full text of the law § 10.1-1142 at the Department of Forestry's web site.


The Burning Law states: from February 15 through April 30 of each year, no burning before 4:00 p.m. is permitted, if the fire is in, or within 300 feet of flammable materials such as grass, woodlands, or brush.

Since forest fuels cure during the winter months, the danger of fire is higher in early spring than in summer when the forest and grasses are green with new growth.

Violation of the Burning Law is a Class 3 misdemeanor (fine of up to $500 and 30 days in jail) for each offense and violators may be liable for the full amount of all expenses incurred by the Commonwealth in suppressing such fire.
