What we Do
Stony Point Volunteer Fire Company aims to provide high quality service to the community no matter the type of emergency. To provide the most comprehensive resources to the Stony Point community, we have entered into mutual aid agreements with the firefighting units in, as well as surrounding, Albemarle County. When we respond to a call within our due, we can expect to be assisted by neighboring fire companies. In turn, when a neighboring fire company has an incident, we can be called on to supply whatever equipment is needed.
In the early 2000s we added Career staff from Albemarle County (ACFR) to enhance our ability to answer calls during the workweek. ACFR staffs the building Monday through Friday, 6am to 6pm. During this time many volunteers are at their day jobs or in school.
In recent years we have averaged 400 – 600 calls a year. Stony Point Volunteer Fire Company has enjoyed over 40 years of growth and has been able to deliver a high level of fire and rescue service to its citizens. We look forward to being able to continue increasing our level of service for many years to come.
Emergency Medical Services
Our membership includes Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). These are personnel who respond to medical calls for service. As we are a rural department, we utilize quick response vehicles to reduce response times and provide medical services in the field until a county ambulance arrives.
Fire Services
Firefighters now are expected to respond to a variety of different calls for service. From the classic cat in tree call, to persons entrapped in vehicles and burning structures. Our Firefighters train regularly on all aspects of the fire and rescue service.
remote Access
SPVFCs has the ability to respond to calls for lost and injured persons in Albemarle County. We house and operate Gator 6, our remote access vehicle. This unit allows us to respond into a variety of private and pubic trails including Preddy Creek Trail Park and The Rivanna Trail System surrounding Charlottesville.
Gator 6 is also capable of assisting units battling brush and wildland fires in the county.
