Safety Tips
Welcome to the Safety Tips page of Brixey & Rockbridge Volunteer Fire Department. Our main goal is fire prevention, and in this section, we provide valuable information to help you keep your home and family safe from fire hazards.
Keep Burnables Away from Your House
One of the most important fire safety tips is to keep all burnable materials away from your house. This includes items such as firewood, gasoline, and other flammable materials. Store these items in a safe and secure location, away from your home. Keep a perimeter of 5-10ft clear around your house.
We are constantly learning how to better serve our community
We are constantly learning by attending classes, events and training. Sometimes we work with other fire departments to accomplish this, but we provide mutual aid to one another. Training together makes it easier to work together when the need arrises.
Schedule Fire Safety Inspections
Regular fire safety inspections are essential in identifying potential fire hazards in your home. Contact Brixey & Rockbridge Volunteer Fire Department to schedule an inspection. Our experienced volunteers will assess your home for fire risks and provide recommendations for enhancing your fire safety measures.

Employ layers of protection including barriers to prevent access to water, life jackets, and close supervision of children to prevent drowning.
