Scruggs Volunteer Fire & Rescue

Thank you so much to everyone in the community that donated food for Dudley Elementary. This outreach is so meaningful for us because there's so many kids that are in need. Your donations mean more than you can ever imagine to this school. It is a blessing to know that our community cares.

Virginia’s spring fire season is here, officially Feb. 15 – April 30. During that time, the statewide burn law is in effect, which prohibits outdoor fires between midnight and 4 p.m. 🔥🚫

Don't be fooled by the snow! Most of Virginia is in a drought caused by months of below-average rainfall. Already this year, DOF has responded to 80 wildfires that have burned nearly 800 acres.

The best ways you can prevent wildfires:
🔥 Wait until after the fire season to burn yard debris
🔥 If you must burn, avoid windy days
🔥 Never leave a fire unattended
🔥 Know the state burn law and local restrictions
