Swimming and water-based activities increase during the summer months. With beaches, pools, water parks and community centers buzzing, LOWVFR FF Johnson was determined to spread water awareness to keep children and their families safe. Learning to swim and practicing safe behaviors are critical first steps.
This summer we urge bicyclists and motorists to share the roadways by obeying the traffic laws and respecting each other’s rights. Whether you are a beginner, a regular biker, a day-tripper, or an athlete like Firefighter Lovell, cycling is good for you and your health. Let’s all make sure to put “safety first.”

On June 6th, the LOWVFR stops to honor and remember one of our own and the D-Day invasion. Joseph Argenzio was just 17 years old when he fought at D-Day. In 1994, he and his wife, Joan, moved to LOW whereupon he joined the LOW Fire and Rescue Company. Joseph was named an honorary Chief and served as Vice President and President of our Board. In addition, he organized our annual Fourth of July parade and was an active member of many civic and fraternal associations, such as the LOW Veterans and Knights of Columbus. Joseph died on April 7, 2010 but his service to our nation and community lives on. Please take a moment to remember former Honorary Chief Argenzio and the many other veterans who stormed those Normandy beaches on Tuesday, June 6, 1944 as part of the Allied operations.
On Monday, May 23rd LOWVFR firefighters used our station to conduct multi-unit drills focused on mayday operations.
