“It’s great to come out and enjoy, but it can certainly be very dangerous," said RFD Lt. Kevin Knight. "We look at it as a collaborative effort to promote the river for the amazing resource it is.” Kudos to the kids who attended this weekend’s event! 🌊

February is American Heart Month and this past Friday, we got to celebrate by being part of @AmericanHeartVA ’s Go Red for Women Luncheon at the Marriott Downtown. We joined @RAAEMS to help with hands-only CPR. It was clearly a fun time! ❤️
