Welcome to North Warren Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department in Warren County Virginia.
On June 21, 1997 , forty people from the Rockland area met and voted to set up a new Fire Department for the northern part of Warren County. Officially known as North Warren Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company 10, the Company received its approval from the Board of Supervisors and a charter from the State on October 10, 1997.
After being granted a Charter from the State, the search was on for a place to call "Home" .During this search period and even after finding our first "Home", monthly meetings and departmental business were held at several of the local churches. During our search , Mr. and Mrs. John Payne stepped up to aid the department. They donated the use of their building on US 522 North (Winchester Road). The building, owned by the Payne's, became the first home for NWVFR.
By March of 1998 with the backing of Dupont, plans were presented for a new building to be located on the Dupont property. A plan of action, outlining the process for the funding and development of the new station, was adopted by the Board of Supervisors for the station on December 20, 2000. Thus the building project became a three-way commitment between the County, Industry and Community.
On March 2, 2002 , a groundbreaking ceremony was held with members of the community , Company 10 , the Board of Supervisors and County staff , business and industry representatives, and the Lantz Construction Company. Construction began in April of 2002.
The station had its Grand Opening on October 6, 2002. Unfortunately , four months later , the beautiful new station suffered a partial collapse due to the weight of a February snow storm. Once again , Mr. and Mrs. Payne came to the rescue with the use of their building that was the "Original" home of the department. With the immediate use of the "Payne" building and countless sacrifices from members and the community, North Warren VFR was back up and running out of the old site within 36 hours, all this during the storm. The new station was rebuilt and another Grand Opening was held on March 26, 2004.
Today, Company 10 responds to approximately 1000+ calls a year using a combination of Career and Volunteer fire and rescue personnel.
Our mission is to provide the very best fire, rescue and medical care possible to the citizens we are called upon to serve, through fire suppression, fire prevention programs, fire, rescue and medical training.
