Department News

  •  Firefighter Commendations – Lt Chris Hrach, FF Courtney Root, FF Joe Hongosh, Lt Tim Cingel, and FF Paul Wojtkiewicz all are be recognized this evening four outstanding emergency medical care.
  • Replacement Ambulance – Delivery Expected in late October, 2016
  • Staffing – With the hires this evening, the total staff on NVFD now is 44 members. This consists of one (1) part time Chief, three (3) fulltime firefighter paramedics, 28 regular part time firefighters, five (5) Emergency Medical Technicians (Race Track Staff), and seven (7) members on leaves of absence. While I can anticipate a continued flux in staffing due to members achieve full time status at surrounding fire departments, I am hoping our newest hires will over all stabilize our staffing situation.
