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 approximately 23-30 active members. 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.
If
you are interested in joining feel free to contact any department
member, or come to our monthly board and business meeting which
begins at 7:00 PM on the last Wednesday of each month.
