🔥 IT’S FIRE PREVENTION WEEK, FOLKS! 🔥

This week, we’re bringing fire safety awareness to the whole family — kids, parents, grandparents, and everyone in between.

Fire prevention isn’t just something firefighters talk about. It’s something we can all talk about and practice at home.

🏠 Know your escape plan.
🚨 Check your smoke alarms.
🔥 Practice fire safety in the kitchen.
⚡ Be careful with electrical devices.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Teach children what to do if a fire happens.

A little preparation today can make a BIG difference when it matters most.

Stay safe. Stay prepared. And let’s prevent fires together. 🚒❤️

From Street Clothes to Turnout Gear! 👩‍🚒

Meet Zoe Crabtree!

Position: President & Firefighter

Years in the Fire Service: 3

When asked why she wanted to be a firefighter she said:

She has been around the fire service since she was born, and she has always loved serving her community. Her Papaw Larry and her dad Matt, were both involved in helping build West Roane Vol. Fire Dept., so the fire department has always been a big part of her life. She says growing up around the fire service has shown her what it means to serve others, work as a team, and be there for your community when people need you most.
She said “I love serving my community, and I am grateful to have a fire family that has always made me feel like I belong. Becoming a firefighter has allowed me to continue the legacy my family started while giving back to the community I love. One of the most meaningful parts for me is being able to show my niece and nephews what their great Papaw and their grandfather Grumps, did for work and the impact they had on our community. It means so much to me to carry on what they started and give the next generation something to be proud of.”

Thank you, Zoe for all that you do for our community!

🚒 TARS Vehicle Extrication Training 🚒

West Roane County Volunteer Fire Department recently hosted a TARS Vehicle Extrication Class, bringing firefighters together for hands-on training and teamwork.

Members of West Roane County VFD, East Roane County Volunteer Fire Department, and Oakdale Area Fire Dept - TN participated in the class, working together to learn, practice, and strengthen their vehicle extrication skills.

The class went great and gave everyone the opportunity to practice different extrication techniques, become more familiar with tools and equipment, and most importantly, work together as a team.

Training alongside our neighboring departments helps build the communication and teamwork that are critical when we meet on the scene of a real emergency.

A special thanks to Rescue Company Media for some awesome photos and assisting with the class!

🚒 Training Today. Ready Tomorrow.

WRCVFD held a CPR class for our firefighters to ensure our members are trained, certified, and ready to respond when our community needs us most.

A special thank you to Roane County (TN) Office of Emergency Services & Homeland Security for joining us and training alongside our firefighters. Opportunities like this are about more than certifications—they allow our agencies to work together, become familiar with each other’s equipment and procedures, and build stronger working relationships before the next emergency happens.

We appreciate Roane County EMS for taking the time to train with us and for their continued partnership in serving our community.

Train together. Work together. Serve together.

From Street Clothes to Turnout Gear:

Meet Chad Goodman!

Current Position: Assistant Fire Chief

Years in the fire service: 29

When asked why he is a firefighter:
Chad said he was raised around the fire service. His father and his uncle were both firefighters. As a child he heard stories about the fire service. He also spent time around the fire station. It became “a way of life” for him and he followed in his father and uncle’s footsteps. Now, almost 30 in the fire service he says that it is a calling. He says, “I’m lucky to be one of the ‘older’ fireman or as some call it an ‘old dog’”.

Thank you Assistant Chief Goodman for your years in the fire service and for all you do for our community!
