The SVFC regrets to announce the passing of Andrew "Blue" Fotinos. Blue served with us for many years, reaching the rank of Technician, where he was recognized as our first Technician of the Year. After stepping away from operations he continued to serve with the SVFC, including time on our Board of Directors, and is a Gold Life member. His friendly face and willingness to serve will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his friends and family.

οΏΌ we will all miss you, Andrew thank you for your service to the community and I always appreciated your friendship. God bless.
Andy was a good guy. Sorry to hear this.
We’re are at the age where almost every week or even daily we loose someone dear to us. Getting older is a right of passage for us lucky ones but it’s still a gut punch to see this. You’re my boy BLUE.

Fotinos was you could say, “the elder statesman” in our fire academy class, which our tight knit group affectionately gave him the nickname “Blue” ( from the movie Old School for those who didn’t see it). He walked into the fire house with a nickname, which we all earn, whether we like it or not, immediately, just as his presence, outspoken or maybe “boisterous”, but always respectful demeanor, genuine laugh and infectious smile gained everyone’s admiration and respect. He was always full ideas that would move people and the department in a better direction. A trusted engine driver and vastly more so friend and advisor, and great man. Honored that you always called and referred to me as brother, you’re my boy Blue
Rest easy Andrew. May his memory be for a blessing!!
You’ll always be our boy, Blue! Miss you brother, I’m forever grateful for our memories.
Such a great man. Huge loss for the department.
Rest in peace, Blue ποΈ
Sending my sincerest condolences to the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company.
Blue was always cheerful and willing to teach. He was a great guy. Rest easy.
Tragic manπBlue had a vibe that was just hard to beat. Loved his presence in the firehouse and appreciated every conversation we had. Sad to see him gone.
Sending our love and support to Blue’s family, friends and Department. Rest in Peace Sir, we have it from here.
Which Fire Station?
Loved this event last year! So glad you're doing it again! β€οΈ
Richard Bania OPERATION FLAPJACK!
Just another Saturday for SVFC Thursday Crew members on Engine 618.
After relieving Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Partners at 6:00 PM, our volunteers on E618 made their way to grab dinner. While en route, Engine 618 was dispatched to a vehicle accident on S Sterling Blvd. Working alongside the Sterling Volunteer Rescue Squad and the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, E618 assisted with assessing patients and securing the scene.
While operating, a second crash occurred nearby, a truck into a tree. E618 immediately shifted to handle the new incident. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Shortly after clearing the scene, E618 was dispatched to a reported structure fire at a local bowling alley. First arriving, they stretched an attack line and made entry to investigate. Fortunately, there was no active fire.
Next came a medical emergency at an assisted living facility, followed by a gas leak call. Dinner finally happened around 10:00 PM, just in time to be dispatched to another medical call.
If this interests you and youβre looking for more than just a routine, if you want to serve your community, train hard, and operate alongside dedicated volunteers who show up when it matters, apply today at joinsterlingfire.org.
