A Partnership with Purpose: Green Valley Custom Builders and Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Team Up for Training

McLean, VA – August 2, 2024

At Green Valley Custom Builders, we believe in making the most of every opportunity. While awaiting demo permits for a few of our properties, we saw an opportunity to give back to the community. We were honored to partner with the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department by offering these homes as training grounds, allowing their teams to gain valuable, hands-on experience in real-world settings.

Training for the Future

Over several days, the fire and rescue teams utilized these homes to conduct hands-on training, enhancing their skills in real-world scenarios. From navigating through the layout of a modern home to practicing rescue operations, this training was an invaluable opportunity for the teams to prepare for emergencies in residential settings.

Lieutenant Michael Voigt of the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department expressed his gratitude, stating, “Our companies were able to get a ton of great training out of both homes, and everyone I talked to wanted me to pass on their appreciation.” These training exercises are crucial in equipping first responders with the skills they need to keep our communities safe.

A Collaborative Effort

This partnership was made possible through the collaborative efforts of our team, led by Gyn Arnold and Tyler Lord, who worked closely with Lieutenant Voigt to facilitate the training. It’s a privilege for us to support our local first responders, and we look forward to future collaborations that benefit the community.

A Lasting Impact

Green Valley Custom Builders is proud to contribute to the safety and preparedness of the Fairfax community. By providing our properties for training, we hope to support the ongoing efforts of local first responders in honing their skills and protecting our neighborhoods. This collaboration highlights our continued commitment to the well-being of the communities we serve.

Looking Ahead

We are immensely grateful for the opportunity to assist Fairfax County Fire and Rescue in their mission to protect and serve. This partnership is a testament to our dedication to both building homes and strengthening the community.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to support our community through innovative collaborations and meaningful contributions.
