The Stations
The Martinsville Volunteer Fire Department
has two stations. Members respond to the station which is closest to them
at the time of the call. The station nearest the member's home is
considered his or her station and the dividing line is Crim Road. Each
station is commanded by a Captain with two Lieutenants and an Engineer under his
or her command.
Station 1
Dedicated in 1998, Martinsville Fire
Department Station 1 is located at the intersection of Washington Valley and Mt
Horeb Roads. The larger of the two stations, Station 1 is known
as headquarters. Here the offices of the Chief, President, and Fire
Commissioners are located. Station 1 is home to three pieces of fire
fighting apparatus: 43-101 (Pierce major pumper), 43-145 (E-One interface engine),
and 43-151 (Ford support unit). Station 1 is also the location of the Fire
Department's meetings, parties, and elections. The Board of Fire
Commissioners also has its monthly meeting here.
