ABOUT US
Teays Valley Fire Department
In 1963 the Teays Valley Lions Club decided that the area needed a local Fire Department. After long discussions it was decided to sponsor the beginning of a volunteer fire department. On July 20, 1964 the State of West Virginia, signed by Joe E. Burdette, Secretary of State signed Incorporation papers. Object for Incorporation: Establish, organize, operate and maintain for benefit of the community a volunteer fire department.
Our first apparatus was a 1942 LaFrance Pumper received from Kanawha County Airport and an old gasoline tanker. These vehicles were housed at Teays Valley Exxon until a station could be built. In 1965 plans for a 60' x 40' building were started and the building still serves us to this day as our main station.
Our department is a combination (career/volunteer) fire department currently led into action by Chief John Smoot. We consist of 35 members who come from a variety of backgrounds and training. We are always taking new applications. If you are interested please stop by the main station and fill one out.
