An Update on Rivermont Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department

13 April 2020

We recorded today’s episode of The Valley Today with Joe Woodall, Assistant Chief of Rivermont Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department via Zoom.

Joe gave us an project update of the new fire station’s construction and explained their working timeline. We talked about what the new building will feature and how it will be beneficial to both the volunteers as well as the community. We also discussed the status of the current building and the future plans for it once they’ve moved into their new space.

We also discussed how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the volunteers’ ability to respond to calls.
