The Chuckatuck Volunteer Fire Department is located on Kings Highway approximately ½ mile from Hwy. 10. This location allows the fire department to provide fire protection and emergency medical first response to northwestern Suffolk along with a portion of Isle of Wight County.

We are very proud to serve our community solely as a volunteer department; with over 50 volunteer professionals. Our members come from throughout our community to provide trained and professional service. All of our members are required to obtain a minimum of Firefighter Level I certification within one year of joining. Members participate in both regional and in house training courses. Many of our members are certified Fire Instructors and Fire Officers, and many hold various medical certifications from EMT-Basic through the Paramedic level.

The Chuckatuck Volunteer Fire Department operates out of a modern fire station that was constructed in 1998. We have 2 Engines (Engine 9 and Engine 29) 1 Tanker (Tanker 9) 1 Brush Truck (Brush 9) and a command vehicle (Car 109). The station and all apparatus is owned, operated, and maintained by the members of our department.

E-29 takes in fire during a backfill

Saturday, October 15, 2011   E-29 Crew (OIC Lt. Spencer)  back filled Smithfield Volunteer Fire Department today during their Open House for the new Station 50.  While at the back fill E-29 responded to a reported combine smoldering from an earlier fire.  Upon arrival of the combine, E-29 crew knew they were going to need to do a little bit more then putting water on this smoldering corn combine.  After a little bit of time of working on a plan to empty over 200 bushels of corn out of the hopper, the crew talked to a local farmer for his advice.  The crew then cut a opening in the bottom side of the hopper and pushed the corn out.  After wetting down the corn and any hot spots the scene was turned back over to the farmer.
