Brookville-Timberlake Volunteer Fire Department was founded on July 12, 1960, to provide emergency fire protection to the northwestern part of Campbell County. Prior to the formation of our department, fire protection to the area was provided primarily by the City of Lynchburg Fire Department.
Our first due territory is approximately five square miles with a growing population of about 35000 people. We also provide second due response and mutual aid to Bedford County, the City of Lynchburg, as well as other departments in Campbell County. As of July 1, 2007 we also respond as the second due company to the Lynchburg Regional Airport.
The department has grown over the years to 42 active members who are dedicated to providing the best emergency services available to our citizens. Most of our members hold Firefighter I or Firefighter II certifications, as well as certifications as Emergency Medical Technicians. Training is ongoing and our member's qualifications cover a number of areas in the fire service. Fire suppression, rescue, vehicle extrication, and hazardous materials operations are just a few of the capabilities our department is trained and equipped to handle. In 2005 the department also established a non-transport First Responder program to provide a quick response to life threatening medical emergencies.
We hope you take the time to visit the different areas of our web sight, and visit us often as this will be a work in progress. Please feel free to send us your comments. We would love to hear from you, whether good or bad, so that we may continue to provide you with the best emergency services available.
