Tappahannock-Essex Volunteer Fire Department
The Tappahannock-Essex Volunteer Fire Department is a volunteer-operated fire department based in Tappahannock, Virginia. It serves Essex County and the town of Tappahannock. Established in 1977, the organization is classified as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under the Internal Revenue Code, focusing on fire prevention and community safety[1][4].
Mission and Activities
The primary mission of the Tappahannock-Essex Volunteer Fire Department is to provide fire and rescue services to the residents of Tappahannock and Essex County[1][4]. It is an all-volunteer force with about seventy members, dedicated to fire suppression and fire safety education[2].
History
While the department itself was formally established in 1977, there is a history of firefighting efforts in the area dating back several decades. In 1949, the fire department received a new Chevrolet/Oren pumper, which remained in service until the mid-1970s. Over the years, the department expanded its fleet and capabilities, including purchasing new equipment such as a Ford/American Fire pumper and a large tanker in the 1960s[2].
Financial Overview
The organization's revenues have seen a slow decline over recent years, with a total revenue of approximately $477,500 in the fiscal year ending June 2023[1]. Contributions are a major source of income, reflecting the community's support for the department's vital services.
Leadership
The department is led by unpaid officers, with key positions including President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and various fire captains and chiefs. The structure is designed to manage and coordinate volunteer efforts efficiently[3].
Operations
The Tappahannock-Essex Volunteer Fire Department operates from multiple stations across its service area. It provides fire response, emergency medical services, and educational programs to raise awareness about fire safety and prevention in the community[2].
