Welcome Members and Guests!

Annual Spring Meeting - CANCELLED

Annual Hazmat Conference

Members and interested hazmat responders,

Virginia is currently under an emergency declaration for the significant flooding and power outages in the southwest. We are also preparing for a significant snow event on Wednesday and Thursday in central and southeast Virginia. This morning, officers and Trustees of the VAHMRS have made the difficult, but prudent, decision to cancel our winter meeting scheduled for Thursday, February 20, 2025. We will share all the reports that were to be presented at the meeting by email to the membership. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with the Virginia Fire Chief’s Association and hope the conference goes well!

Yours in service,

Wade Collins, VAHMRS President
