Career Staff

For many years, the operations of the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company were entirely handled by volunteer staff. As the town has grown, the calls have increased and our members now work further and further away from town. In 2000, the fire company requested that Loudoun County place a paid crew of firefighters in Station 20 during the daytime hours, Monday through Friday.

Beginning June 30th, 2005, Loudoun County placed additional career personnel at Station 20 in response to a request from Company 1's membership. The additional personnel staff Truck 1 during the day. Additionally, career coverage was expanded to 7 days per week, 12 hours per day.

There are now two shifts totaling 14 people who work a varying schedule that ensures at least six of them are on duty each day from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The crew presently assigned to Station 20 consists of:
 

A-Shift Engine
Capt. Adam Davis	Tech. Tim Taheri	FF/EMT Timothy Gosbee
A-Shift Truck
Lt. Brandon Frieder	Tech. John Myers	FF/EMT Josh Bentz	FF/EMT James Shelton
B-Shift Engine
Lt. Jimmy Gray	Tech. Brian Beaulieu	FF/EMT Nicholas Riese
B-Shift Truck
Lt. Mike Pisauro	Tech. Mike Ciaburri	FF/EMT Blake Bullard	FF/EMT Brandin Pettit

They are responsible for staffing two pieces of apparatus from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. If additional resources are required during these hours, volunteer members provide staffing for them. Volunteers are responsible for staffing all apparatus from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., seven days per week.

While emergency calls are the primary duty of any crew, our career staff handles many other tasks in support of the fire company. They create and maintain the detailed maps we use to guide us on calls, they perform a great deal of station and equipment maintenance, and they participate in our operational meetings.

The Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company and the community are very fortunate to have them as part of the team that provides emergency services to Leesburg!
