Outdoor Fires Unlawful Before 4:00 PM
February 15 through April 30

Virginia’s 4:00 p.m. Burning Law goes into effect on February 15.

Briefly, the 4:00 p.m. Burning Law states: from February 15 through April 30 of each year, no burning before 4:00 p.m. is permitted, if the fire is in, or within 300 feet of, woodland, brushland or fields containing dry grass or other flammable material.

Since forest fuels cure during the winter months, the danger of fire is higher in early spring than in summer when the forest and grasses are green with new growth. The 4:00 p.m. Burning Law is an effective tool in the prevention of forest fires. Localities may have more restrictive outdoor burning laws.

You can read the full text of the law § 10.1-1142 on our website.

Debris burning continues to be the leading cause of forest fires in Virginia. The 4:00 p.m. Burning Law is different from the burning bans, which are invoked only during periods of extreme fire danger.

For more information and complete copies of the law, please contact your local VDOF office.

December 7, 2011

Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company is proud to announce the newest member of the fleet, Attack-1.  The apparatus was created with three specific missions in mind: Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) fire protection and suppression, Rural Water Supply, and Inclement Weather.  The multi-mission apparatus is modular in design with compartments outfitted to allow for quick changes between incident profiles.

The Ford F550 chassis is integrated with General Fire Equipment’s award winning firefighting package.  The 6.7 liter diesel engine’s power reaches the ground through a six speed automatic transmission, moving 400 gallons of water and 20 gallons of Class A foam.  The firefighting package is based upon a Hale 500 gallon per minute pump driven by a 39 horsepower Kubota engine.   We look forward to years of service protecting Fauquier County and Warrenton with this apparatus.

Press Release

July 1, 2011

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fauquier County has upgraded its emergency notification system to CodeRed and CodeRed Weather Warning. CodeRed and CodeRed Weather Warning are both products of Emergency Communications Network, Inc. CodeRed is a web based service that enables the County to provide mass notification quickly and easily. Notifications may include evacuations, missing person alerts, hazardous materials incident, flooding, and other emergency incidents where rapid and accurate notification is essential for life safety. Messages are delivered by phone call, text and email. CodeRed Weather Warning uses National Weather Service’s polygon methodology to notify only citizens in the path of projected weather (severe thunderstorm, tornado and flash flood) which increases relevance and reduces false alarms. CodeRed Weather Warning is an opt-in only service. You may sign up by clicking on the link below. Weather Warnings are delivered to a home, business or cell phone number.

To ensure you receive emergency notifications signup by clicking on the link below.
