A Brief History of Coles District Volunteer Fire & Rescue Squad

Established in 1949 as the Independent Hill Volunteer Fire Department, our department was started by six local residents to provide fire and rescue services to the area. The original fire station was located on Rte. 234, as was an adjacent 110-foot tower used for spotting fires in what was then a mostly wooded section of Prince William County.

In 1979, our need for larger equipment and more space required building the current fire station, also located on Rte. 234. The old station was demolished the following year, while the fire tower -- no longer needed because of the transformation of forest into suburbs -- was removed in 1988 and transported to South Carolina, where it remains in use today.

Our current membership is made up of active, junior and associate members. The size of our membership allows us to field a variety of trained personnel to serve the community, including two-dozen volunteer firefighters and a nearly equal number of Emergency Medical Technicians, as well as certified EMT, CPR and fire suppression instructors.


We currently employ two Pierce Quantum Pumpers, a 2500-gallon Pierce Lance tanker, a Pierce Quantum heavy duty squad, 2 Ford F-550 4x4 ambulances, a GMC brush truck and five chief's vehicles.
