The oldest surviving member of the CVVFA has passed away. Fireman Kenneth K. Snavely who joined the Union Hose Company of Middletown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania on July 5, 1938 died in Dayton Ohio on September 17, 2022 at the age of 105. Mr. Snavely joined the CVVFA in 1940 and was the last living member who joined in the 1940's. He had lived in Ohio since 1965 and was a life member of the Association. Upon contact with him a few years ago he was surprised that he was still a member. During our first virtual convention in 2020 we featured his photograph holding an American flag in front of his residence during the annual 4th of July parade. To put his membership into perspective, when Fireman Snavely joined the CVVFA, the Association was 39 years old. We are now in our 122nd year. Members like Ken Snavely built our Association. Their memories remain in our records and in our hearts.
A life well lived… a lifetime of service. Thank you, Sir. Rest in peace.
Thoughts and Prayers to his Family and Friends.
Condolences...
What an incredible life.
Prayers to Mr. Snavelys family

Under the leadership of CVVFA First Vice President David Lewis, Steve Austin and a team from the Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen’s Association’s Emergency Responder Safety Institute traveled to San Antonio Texas to attend the National Firefighter Life Safety Summit 2022, hosted by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the San Antonio Fire Department. Each agency in attendance was invited to bring two emerging fire service leaders to the conference. We brought Josh Pfeiffer and Brady Robinette who have embraced Responder Safety and Traffic Incident Management and are rising stars in the CVVFA. Work centered around developing strategies to reduce firefighter deaths and injuries. CVVFA/ERSI focuses on Life Safety Initiative # 11 Response Policies. The team brought the Responder Safety Message to the gathering.
