This concurrent resolution commends the McGaheysville Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. on its 60th anniversary, recognizing its long-standing service to the McGaheysville community since its founding on March 16, 1965. The resolution highlights the fire company's significant achievements, including constructing its original fire station on land donated by the Mahan family, purchasing and converting its first fire apparatus from a fuel oil delivery truck, and being led by dedicated fire chiefs who ensured proper training and equipment for their members. The resolution also acknowledges the company's community engagement through fundraising events like bingo nights and chicken dinners, its recent groundbreaking of a new facility with a commercial kitchen, and its commitment to honoring past firefighters by revitalizing its memorial area. As a final gesture, the General Assembly directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to prepare a copy of the resolution to be presented to the McGaheysville Volunteer Fire Company as a formal expression of admiration for its six decades of courageous and selfless service to the local community.
