West Point FD responded Squad 3, Medic 32 and DC3 to assist units from King William and Walkerton that were already on scene. Squad 3 is our newest addition to the fleet. It is specially equipped to handle complicated extrications such as this. Additionally, many of our members are trained to the Vehicle Rescue Technician Level (the highest offered within the Commonwealth) and the Advanced Life Support Level.

Crews from West Point FD assisted New Kent FR with a house fire in the 5800 block of Yellow Jasmine Terrace. Luckily a strong mutual aid agreement allowed for adequate trained personnel and apparatus to be on scene within minutes, allowing for minimal damage to the structure. As always-we encourage that you have working smoke detectors and check them monthly.
