Congratulations to Firefighter/EMT Jonathan Taylor! (Pictured in the middle)

Teamwork makes the dream work! We want to give a big shoutout to this three-member crew made up of a volunteer paramedic from Louisa County Volunteer Rescue Squad , LCRS Deputy Chief Josh Andrew, and two firefighter/EMTs from Louisa County Department of Fire/EMS , Jackson Barrett and Jonathan Taylor. Pictured here with Fire & EMS Chief Kristin Hawk and Lieutenant John Sharp.

This team was recently recognized by Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital for their exceptional care on a medical call. They responded for a patient not feeling well, quickly recognized the signs of a heart attack, and confirmed it with an EKG. Their fast actions allowed the ER to see the EKG results before the patient was even at the hospital, getting the patient sent straight to the cath lab and improving their outcome.

This is what teamwork, training, and dedication look like. Well done!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Chris Bizjak.

Chris joined Reva Volunteer Fire & Rescue in 2005 and faithfully served our community for nearly two decades. He held the position of Assistant Chief and was a dedicated Lifetime Member.

Beyond titles, Chris was a cornerstone of our department — known for his deep knowledge of apparatus maintenance, his steady leadership, and his unwavering commitment to keeping our fleet, and our people, ready to serve.

Chris wasn’t just a member — he was family. His quiet strength, sharp skillset, and selfless service left a lasting impact.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the honor of serving alongside him. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Rest easy, we’ll take it from here.

🚑 Fleet Friday is Here! 🚑

Each Friday, Reva Volunteer Fire & Rescue puts the spotlight on one of our hard-working rigs — and this week, we’re featuring one that’s small but mighty and always ready to roll:

⛑️ Ambulance 1216 ⛑️

🚨 2019 Ford F550 Type I – by the pros at PL Custom and Goodman Specialized Vehicles, LLC

🩺 ALS & BLS Capable – yup, it does both!

🚧 4x4 Chassis – because emergencies don’t wait for good weather or perfect roads

👉🏼 Fun Fact Friday:
Did you know Ambulance 1216 is our hardest-working hero on wheels? Dispatched on nearly 90% of our calls, this rig is basically Reva's MVP. 🏆

From dirt roads to downtown, this unit is always mission-ready — lights on, sirens up, and heart in the game.

Stay tuned next week as we roll out another member of the fleet. Same time, same place!

🚒 Fleet Friday is Here! 🚒

Each Friday, Reva Volunteer Fire & Rescue is putting the spotlight on one of our hard-working rigs—and we're kicking things off with a fan favorite:

🔥 Wagon 1216 🔥

🛠️ 2005 Pierce Dash – classic look, serious muscle

💦 1500 GPM Waterous Pump – because we really like water

💧 1000 Gallon Tank — For those areas without hydrants

🧯 40 Gallons of Class A & B Foam – we come prepared for anything

💪 Series 60 Detroit Diesel – she growls, she rumbles, she gets it DONE

🏃‍♂️💨 When the tones drop for a structure fire, Wagon 1216 is the first out the door, leading the charge to protect our community.

👉🏼 Fun Fact Friday:
Ever wondered why our units all start with "12"? That's because Culpeper County is part of the Northern Virginia Council of Governments (COG) regional numbering system. So from the town to the countryside, we're proudly rocking the 12-prefix all across the county!

Stay tuned next week as we roll out another member of the fleet. Same time, same place!
