“I just wanted to let you know how great the VCOS website is for resources for our department and me. I am a new chief, and I am with a new department moving to a combination type deptartment. The resources are second to none and have been my go to site for information that we need to become a best practices fire department. Thanks for all the VCOS’s hard work.”
