Fallen Firefighter Memorial Clean-Up Day
A few weeks ago, on the PVVFD's member only Facebook page, I asked who would be interested in going to TFACA's Fallen Firefighter Memorial for a clean-up day. After hearing back from several of you, we have locked in May 10th.
We will spend the day at the Fallen Firefighter Memorial cleaning up the grounds, reviewing the history memorial and speaking about firefighters who paid the ultimate sacrifice. For now, please save the date.
We will have more info coming as we get closer to the date.


Recruit 25-1 GRADUATION
All, As of now the Recruit 25-1 Graduation will be MAY 14, 2025 @1830 at PVVFD Station 1.
This is a pretty firm date. This will be one of our larger classes if we graduate all 14. As usual, there will need to be a ton of prep work. The station and bay will need to be cleaned in the week leading up and the day of graduation the chairs will have to be set up and the rigs placed for the program. We will get to that as it gets closer. SO, make arrangements to attend graduation. Write this date on your calendar.
As always, thank you!

PVVFD Annual Banquet
PVVFD members,
I wanted to give you some information regarding our annual banquet. I think we all understand that the last couple of months in our calendar year can be overwhelming.
The many activities and commitments can create a variety of issues. That is why in recent years we have held our annual banquet after the new year begins. We plan to do the same this time around.
The date for the PVVFD's annual banquet will be Saturday, January 11th Feb. 1, 2025. The event will again be held at our Station 1, with a start time of 1730 hours (5:30 pm).
We will have additional information in the future, but we wanted to give you plenty of advance notice so you can make plans to attend.
Thank you for your contributions to the PVVFD and those we serve.
Chief Nelms
