A very special THANK YOU to our brothers and sisters at Fountain Volunteer Fire Company for sending a crew to provide standby coverage today while our members held the 25th Annual Fall Bash. As has seem to become a tradition every year, our mutual aid partners wind up running several calls in our first due area. Today was no exception.

Thank you again to these men and women for serving the citizens of Western Hardy County while we raised funds to be able to continue that mission every day. Brotherhood know no boundaries.

Our thoughts and prayers for our brothers and sisters at Petersburg Volunteer Fire Company as they celebrate the life of one of the pillars of their department, John Helmick. Rest In Peace Sir, we have it from here.

**Service Information**

Visitation will be Saturday, June 27th at 12n, the Service will follow at 1pm at Schaeffer Funeral Home.

It is with great sadness that the Petersburg Volunteer Fire Company announces the passing of Lifetime Member John Helmick.

John dedicated 51 years of service to our department and was always there whenever he was needed. His commitment to PVFC went far beyond responding to calls. Every year, while he was still working, John made sure we had the supplies needed for our annual bash, helping behind the scenes to ensure its success. His dedication, dependability, and support of our organization will never be forgotten.

John's presence will be missed tremendously by all of us. His contributions to our department and our community have left a lasting impact that will be remembered for generations.

Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with Nancy and the entire Helmick family during this difficult time.

The Petersburg Volunteer Fire Company will be honoring John with a Fireman's Funeral. Additional service information will be posted as it becomes available.

Rest easy, John. Thank you for your 51 years of service and dedication.

Two more nights left of the firemanā€™s carnival. Donā€™t miss out on the fun!
