“There are a lot of procedures you can practice here that you can’t do in your own home,” said Amissville Fire and Rescue volunteer Scott Chamberlin.

The conflagration burned the house to the ground in about three hours. Zuschlag said it smoldered through the night, but had burned out by Sunday morning.
Seeking volunteers
Carter said every fire-andrescue squad in Rappahannock County is looking for volunteers.
He said it is especially difficult to find volunteers to respond to fires during the day, because so many county residents commute to other areas for work or are unable to leave their jobs for several hours during the heart of the day.
Now is a good time to join a county fire-and-rescue team, Carter said, because firefighter and emergency medical technician courses are coming up in January. For more information on firefighter training, contact J.B. Carter Jr. at 540-937-4218. For more information on the EMT instruction, call 540-631-9318.
