This page and all equipment bought is privately funded. No tax payers' money was spent on this project. Generous donations from thankful citizens provides our funding. Besides, being invited into a firehouse, as a guest, is an incredible honor and we're thankful for the VFDs that allow us into their workplace.

Reposting a re-cut version from 2020 "Invincible" Wheeling Fire Dept. Tribute

03/08/2022

This year's Autism awareness shirts are beyond amazing to me and I'm so happy with how they turned out. This year our shirt design for the back was done by "Drawings By Trent" if you don't know his story or of his work please look him up and see why this was so special for us to work this out.

The "Benwood Fire Dept" was draw by a local boy I know with Autism and the way it all came together as one turned out amazingly.

**Shirt orders are ONLY until MARCH 15th, that's 13 days for orders!!!**

"Sport your colors" on Warwood Ave Wheeling WV has knocked it out of the park again with keeping everything just the way we wanted.

We will be doing 50/50 with the shirt sales this year. "Drawings By Trent" will receive 50% to be used for his ideas/mission and the other 50% will go to us for our Autism awareness day in April (Date TBA)

Here is a link for the shirts below. All orders will be pick up at our dept and other orders that may need shipped will be discussed with the buyer on possible pricing to ship. Thank you everyone and I hope you all enjoy this shirt as much as I do. God Bless you all.

Attention WV Volunteers: Contact Andrew Cunningham via text 304.312.9874 or DM on Facebook to setup a station visit. I want to do truck shoots and anything else the Station wants. Photos will be used on WV Bravest Volunteers social media and website and copies will be provided to the Fire Station and the Firefighters free of charge.

I feel this is important for the history of the fire service in West Virginia, to document the apparatus over a period of time. I'll hope to return every few years to see how things have changed and to talk to members.

I also want to get to know you all, for the purpose of me responding on scene for structure fires and photographing.

Have your Chief contact me for references if necessary. I was trained by Wheeling Firefighters in the operation on as a fireground photographer and fire Buff, during a structure fire. I practice scene safety and stay in visual connection with firefighters and police.
