L.V. Merrill and Mrs. Bertha Armel are honorary life members of the Washington Fire Company and Rescue Squad. Both have been active members for many years and have served the county and community diligently. Washington was the first fire company organized in Rappahannock and the only one for a long, long time. This unit was organized in the early 30’s and Mr. Merrill was probably the instigator of the movement. He was a charter member and chief for some 15 years. It was incorporated in 1939. He served as a vice president among other positions, in later years. Mrs. Armel has responded to innumerable traffic accidents, illnesses and other emergencies during her tenure as a member and officer of the rescue unit. She has taught first aid classes for a number of years, also.
