Brad Woods, Luttrell Volunteer Fire Department Chief, accepted a $10,000 donation from the City of Plainview. Each year Plainview includes LVFD in the budget. In addition, Plainview maintains a fire station on Tazewell Pike.

The fire department has experienced several brushfires this year. Chief Woods cautions that although burn permits are not required from May 15 to October 15, obtaining a permit puts the fire department on alert and may cause a faster response in case of an emergency. Fires need supervision. LVFD has responded to 51 calls in 2025.
