The personnel of KVFD put in countless hours to respond to emergencies as well as work details and complete training to maintain our ability to be ready to respond day in and day out serving Western Chester County." The chief said "KVFD is a great organization filled with a solid history and with history still yet to be made. We thank those who are part of the organization and those who support KVFD."
