TVFD.org .::. Volunteers, Protecting Your Dreams
Description
The Troutville Volunteer Fire Department was organized in 1952 by members of our community who came together with a desire to help neighbors in their time of need. These special men and women worked hard to build the first Troutville firehouse and to obtain a used fire truck so they could start protecting area homes and businesses from the ravages of fire.
The one thing that kept these new volunteers going was knowing they were truly helping their neighbors and as time went by the neighbors found they could count on them to be there when the fire whistle blew.
The Troutville Volunteer Fire Department still proudly protects approximately 10,000 people living in an area of 56 square miles. We recently lowered our ISO rating to a 6 during our most recent ISO evaluation. The Troutville Volunteer Fire Department serves Southern Botetourt County in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Our Department runs over 400 fire calls each year and is the busiest fire department in Botetourt County. Our response area includes busy interstate 81,US Route 11 and US Route 220. The Appalachian Trail runs through the middle of our territory as it winds out of the mountains into the Roanoke Valley and then back up the mountains to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our first run territory is one of the fastest growing areas in Western Virginia and the fastest growing area in the Roanoke Valley.
