Congratulations Chris & co.! You guys are so hard-working for a group of volunteers…your response time is impressive, and you really know your stuff. Walnut Hill and the surrounding area is lucky to have ppl to help without having to wait for other departments to get to a scene.
Congratulations Chief Brown and your entire Department. You department continues to show your dedication to your community. Thank you Shirley Hazley, Chris Myers and Fox 10 for recognizing them for their efforts.
I love WHVFD! I miss you guys and I know you deserve it. You guys are the only station in the county (and anywhere as far as I am concerned) that has a truly familial relationship with the citizens.
