I'd love to shoot the entire department one day. Thanks for posting information on a unique department! Great posts. Mark[/quote]
The fire Department is all volunteer and is located at Smith Mtn. Lake, Va with boats docked at several different locations on the lake, which has shoreline in Franklin, Pittsylvania, and Bedord Counties. The SMLMVFD is the only marine based fire company on the lake with land based support from several fire departments around the lake in all three counties. Also on the lake is the U.S. Coast Guard Auxillary, Bedford County Sherrifs Department, and the Virginia Consevation Police (Game Wardens), here is the web site adress for the fire department [url="http://www.smlv.com/fire/smlmvfc.htm"]http://www.smlv.com/fire/smlmvfc.htm[/url]
