Training Mission Statement

The Primary mission of the Training Division of the Culpeper County Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association and Culpeper County Office of Emergency Services is to prepare our volunteer fire and rescue departments to serve our community efficiently and effectively by every means possible, and to ensure safety for our fire and EMS providers while delivering this service. It is the further mission of this division to provide initial and on-going training, education and certification to fire and EMS personnel of Culpeper County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Departments, ensuring a competent, efficient and effective emergency response organization.

In Station Training Drills

CCVFRA companies are invited to join Companies 1 and 2 for their in station training drills. The goal is to complete the drills on the 4th Thursday night of each month. The start time for drills will vary between 6:30 & 7:00 pm. The drills will likely be approximately 1.5-2 hours in length so as we do not over burden anyone due to work schedules for those members attending. Also, as mentioned - we will alternate months hosting so that each department can provide the instructor or contact person for the drill. As the program develops, other topics may be planned for future dates.
