FOURTH FIRST-DUE FIRE IN 24 HOURS 300 BLK. MAXTON LANE
Friday, December 27, 2013 0925 hours After a busy Thursday night, JCBVFD was alerted to the 300 block of Maxton Lane for a another structure fire Friday morning. While units were enroute, JCBVFD Chief 103 reported a large column of smoke from Richmond Road, and called a working fire. A JCCPD unit arrived first on the scene, and reported a single-family residence with the back of the home being fully involved. JCBVFD Engine 1 arrived, and encountered heavy smoke coming from the rear. Engine 1 personnel deployed a 2 1/2″ handline to the rear of the structure, and began a defensive attack. After initial knockdown, crews made entry to conduct primary searches, but were met with increasing heat conditions, and additional fire spread, which was aided by the balloon-frame construction. York Tanker 3 arrived on the scene, and was able to establish a water supply from a distant hydrant. After being forced out of the residence by increasing heat conditions, search crews were finally able to re-enter after additional knockdown and complete the searches. A single victim was found inside of the residence, who was pronounced deceased on the scene. The fire was declared under control by command at 1108 hours. JCBVFD Chief 103 (Stone) held the command.

FIREFIGHTER I&II STUDENTS TRAIN IN MOBILE BURN TRAILER
Saturday, December 14, 2013 After nearly six months of classroom and practical training, Firefighter I &II students from JCBVFD, New Kent County, West Point, and King and Queen County were able to put their practice to work under live-fire conditions. The JCBVFD Training Division secured VDFP’s state-of-the-art Live Fire Burn Trailer at the Toano Fire Station Saturday, allowing the recruits to undergo several evolutions including hose advancement, search and rescue, and ventilation. The Mobile Burn Trailer allows the students to encounter all of the same conditions that they would experience in a structure fire, but with many additional safety features built-in. Five squads of recruits were lead over the weekend by instructors from the JCBVFD, JCCFD, City of Williamsburg, and VDFP during the live burns. The recruit class of volunteer firefighters now moves on the state certification testing, and will graduate from the recruit program in February after completing additional training in Hazardous Materials and Emergency Vehicle Operations.
Special thanks to Captain TD Smith and Doreen McAndrews for putting on another successful recruit class
