I want to send a big thank you to the paramedic team who came to my home on Telegraph Road on Monday October 31st to care for my husband.
Theses two individuals did an amazing job. They were kind, courteous, understanding and informative. They were respectful and compassionate and highly skill at their profession.
It is with a grateful heart that I thank them for there help.
May God continue to bless them and the Westwood Company for providing excellent life saving services to our community.

My husband suffered a total cardiac block on Thanksgiving day and thanks to the quick action from my family who started cpr and your quick arrival and extraordinary efforts, he survived 1000 to 1 odds of a full recovery. Thank you for not giving up on him and allowing him to return home to us.
I can't say enough how much our family appreciates your heroic efforts.

Am trying to find a way to thank the EMS team that responded to an incident at 2842 Strasburg Road on 2/18/2018. The entire team was excellent handling the call for my 42 year old daughter with Cerebral Palsy, (Barbara Martin/Alice) who we thought might be having a heart attack. She was very, very, scared and the responding team was so great at calming her down and assuring her that they could help her. The whole team that responded made a very scared person confident that she was in good hands. As her Mom I just can't thank them enough and I'm hoping this message gets to every member of the team that responded. Please let them know that I can't thank them enough! They are a class act!

I would like to thank the crew that saved my life, August 19, 2014. I was riding my motorcycle Eastbound on Route 30 near EBY's auto body when a distracted driver (headed West) swerved out of her lane and hit me head-on. I suffered from a broken back, ribs, crushed hips and internal injuries.
You saved my life ! The broken back could have been complicated by a broken spinal column, however I was moved carefully. The doctors said I should never walk again, however I am walking with a cane.
I was in the hospital and rehabilitation for 12 months. Approximately 1 year later I was allowed to move home.
I will come visit one day soon to thank those who helped me, but in the mean time thank you so much........

On August 19th, a young driver veered into oncoming traffic and struck my boyfriend who was on his motorcycle at the time. He had a crushed pelvis, broken ribs, and a very bad back fracture which, I was later told, was dangerously close to being paralyzing.
The Westwood team was crucial in their role of carefully getting him to a trauma center without further injury and stabilizing his back. I could never thank you guys enough for your care in moving him. You were the first in a long series of heroes all with the goal of returning him to a full life. Thank you again!
The residents of this community are lucky to have professionals of your caliber there when needed.

I was recently requested by your EMS unit to assist on an accident and I just wanted to comment on how professional and amazing your crew was. The patient was a difficult case to say the least and they handled themselves amazingly! If you could please pass on to them and the ALS unit we as the flight crew appreciated their hard work and efforts I would greatly appreciate it and keep up the good work!

Very impressive web site. When I moved from Westwood in 1966, Richard Herman was Chief and Bill Barker was Captain. I was surprised to see the newspaper article when Ross Darlington and I were recognized. Believe it or not, I still have those boots. My brother Bill retrieved them from my Mother's (Nanie Root) house after the fire. The last time I was at the firehouse was after the fire at Mom's house. I talked with Bob Gathercole who was Chief at the time. The history section and pictures brought back many memories. The Fire Company has made impressive improvements over the years. I like the blue equipment. God Bless and watch over the Westwood firefighters.

Thank you to all of the volunteers but especially to all involved in the search and rescue on Saturday, July 9th. You helped save my Dad's life. You are all heroes in my book!
David's Drive 831, Inc. was escorted by the Westwood Fire Company to the Coatesville VA on Memorial Day. Thousands of underwear, socks and t-shirts were to dropped off to our hospitalized Veterans in memory of David B. Turner, Jr. Thank you for the escort and for helping unload!
Just wanted to drop a note to thank your personnel for the exceptional hospitatlity and enthusiasm during the Special Vehicle Rescue Class. It was truly a pleasure to work with you and your members. I look forward to coming back down to do the 1006 Classes with Chief Rohrer. I hope that the holidays are happy and peaceful for you and your organization. Stay safe.

While visiting my parents, I drove past the firehouse that I grew up with my entire life. I remember when Westwood was truly the pace to be, a great little community that was full of life, full of family. Hearing that fire whistle blow is a memory I'll never forget. I remember visiting the firehouse as a child with my Dad, Harry Sheeler Jr., and my Uncle Bill Proffit and sitting with Chetty Taylor reminiscing about the good old days in Westwood. Times have changed, but the pride you show as a fire unit is truly impressive. Congratulations on many years of great progress, commitment and strength and through your honoring of Chetty.

I recently attended your special Valentine's Bingo Marathon. My daughter and I attended for the first time, as we both needed a "Bingo Fix" since we had not played in three weeks due to the weather. I found the advertisement online and we decided to give it a try. All I have to say is WOW!!! We had the best time!! It was well organized, the food was outstanding, the people were friendly, and well worth the $45.00. I will definitely come back again but this time bring a little more $$$$$.
I stopped by the station the other day in regards to buying a t-shirt. When I arrived, I was greeted by fellow firefighters working on the Rescue/Engine. They showed me around and gave me great information about the station and the apparatus. You guys do an excellent job with the website also. I was really impressed by the people there. Iit seems like a very well organized company. Stay safe and thank you guys from your brothers in Virginia.
