Thanks to all who came to the RVBC Celebration yesterday. The kids had such a great time meeting you all and of course, touring the Fire Truck! Congrats on your 100 year anniversary.

First time I ever viewed this web site. Think it's great! Enjoyed the pictures. Brings back many memories. Don't think I could race out the door at 2 in the morning anymore. Good luck on your 100th anniversary.
Just wanted to drop in and check out our side. I used to live in Oakland and always wanted to become a member, but the Marine Corp diverted to plans and now I am a FF in Leesburg VA. Keep up the good work and keep "Doin it"

Great site, keep up the good work. I'm looking to trade shirts, duty for duty with someone from your dept. I been with Oakland for some years now and would love to have one of your shirts we too are turning 100 at my station (four)next year. It has been an honor to serve in Oakland and I would wear your shirt with the same pride as I wear mine. Thank you stay safe as you can!

I love the site but I think it would be better if you added photos of your former apparatus, kinda like the way Wyckoff did theirs. I am interested to see what all of oaklands former trucks and chief cars looked like

i like your fire dept page. I am looking for ideas for a new page for the dept that im on
Thank you Oakland Fire Department for all you have done for our family. Your quick action saved our family, our birds and our house! I also want to thank you for letting us be apart of your family. My father in law has been a member for many years, and to this day has a smile on his face when he tells us of the Fire Family we are now proud to be a part of. Now my husband is a proud member and looks forward to fighting the fires beside his new extended family.

Congratulations on your magnificent updated website! It is both educational and informative. I have posted a link to your site from our Section2Wildfire.com webpages.
As always, I extend our heartfelt gratitude for the assistance you continue to provide in wildfire suppression, in and around Oakland.
Great site it's great to see another local department showing the public how much pride and dedication it takes to be a vol. firefighter. Keep up the good work and be safe.
Nice website, needs some captions with photos. I'm pretty sure I have some old photos I can scan from the late '70s and early '80s (Bob Artus and Bernie Hicky days) if you want them for the history of the site. Email me if interested.
