I recently had the opportunity to visit several fire stations during a trip from Richmond, Virginia to the Lynchburg area. I had the typical challenges of finding some folks at the stations, but once that was done, the members were outstanding and took the time to move apparatus around. I did, however, battle our high humidity/temperatures and clouds off and on. Overall, a fun visit to some departments I have never visited.
First up is Blackstone, Virginia located in Nottoway County. My timing was good because as I pulled up to the station, two guys were just ready to leave and close the station up tight. They were excited to have someone drop by and were very accomodating.
