GSVFD’s Newest Firefighter/EMT’s

 911 Hot Designs Administrator    October 22, 2015    No Comments

GSVFD is proud to announce three new Volunteer Firefighter/EMT's joining the ranks of the best in Fairfax County; Jonathan Choi, Glenn Hanna and Laura Olsen were presented their Black Helmet by Fairfax County Fire Chief Bowers and Volunteer Liaison Jeffrey Katz at a public event held at the Fairfax County Government Center after completing hundreds of hours of training.

When asked about why they wanted to become a firefighter, Laura told us "I grew up with firefighting in the family - her grandfather, Ken Warfield, was a career firefighter and Fire Chief in Wayne, Michigan - and as a girl she visited Station 22 for its annual neighborhood open houses. Laura works in public health and was interested in volunteering as an Emergency Medical Technician when she joined GSVFD in 2013, as a newly returned Peace Corps Volunteer looking for a way to give back to her community at home. Over the course of her two years at the station, she loved learning about the fire side of volunteering and was inspired to work towards becoming a firefighter as well."

Glenn told us"My son and I found out together about volunteering during the open house with his Cub Scout troop. I jumped head first at the opportunity and never looked back. It has been the most fulfilling work I have ever done."

We are very proud of Jonathan, Glenn and Laura for their dedication and commitment to helping ensure the safety of the residents and visitors to Springfield and Fairfax County.

Job well done !

Hunger does not take a summer vacation. Please help local families by donation to #echo this month 🇺🇸❤️Your Food Donations Are Needed
We are grateful to all of our neighbors who contributed to the Postal Workers Food Drive last month. We did not take in the pre-pandemic quantity of donations in this drive that we were hoping for. Donations tend to drop off in the summer so your support for ECHO's Food Pantry is critical. Thanks for shopping for ECHO.
