Northern Virginia Chapter
INTERESTED IN BECOMING A MEMBER?
In order to join Northern Virgina FOOLS, you must be sponsored by an active member, or
attend an official Open Enrollment Event (You just missed our Bash) usually held once a year.  
Check back in the near future for more information on another 2008 Open Enrollment Event.  

Membership dues for the first year is $20.00.  Ten dollars goes to the International as a ONE
TIME membership fee, and the other ten dollars goes to the Northern Virginia Chapter.  Yearly
dues to the Chapter are $20.00 to keep your membership current and are due April 1st of
each year.  Dues go directly back to you, the membership, to offset the costs of training, trips,
and other social events held through out the year.  A small price to pay to be part of a great
organization dedicated to preserving  fire service tradition world wide.

You must currently be a career, part-time, volunteer, or retired firefighter from one of the
following fire departments:  Fairfax County, Arlington, Alexandria, Prince William County,
Loudoun County, Fairfax City, Manassas City, Quantico, Fort Meyer, Washington Metro Airport
Authority, Fort Belvoir, DCFD, and Fauquier County.  You must be a 'firefighter',
'firefighter/EMT', or 'firefighter/Paramedic'  to be considered for membership.  And yes, this
includes all officers.  Members of other departments may join too!
Either way...you MUST be a firefighter.
