Chincoteague, Va– The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company successfully raised $24,819 for the new side-by-side vehicle.
The Chincoteague ponies are an iconic part of Virginia’s coastal heritage, and the fire company plays a crucial role in their care and management. These vehicles are essential tools for their operations on Assateague Island, allowing them to effectively conduct pony rescues, manage roundups, and respond to various emergency situations in challenging terrain.
The Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company is famous for its annual Pony Swim and auction, where they round up wild ponies from Assateague Island and swim them across the channel to Chincoteague Island. This tradition helps manage the herd population while raising funds for the fire company.
