Chickahominy Volunteer Fire Department is committed to providing access to our web pages for individuals with disabilities.

Chickahominy Volunteer Fire Department has been working to make its Web content accessible to as broad a user base as possible. Our site complies with best practices and standards as defined by Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) of the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative (W3C WAI).

Chickahominy Volunteer Fire Department is monitored and tested regularly by internal and third party accessibility consultants to identify any usability issues as well as discover new solutions to further improve the accessibility of our site. Our current accessibility features include:

1. Alternative text detail for appropriate images and other non-text elements.
2. Title attributes for additional information about links and indication of new browser windows.
3. Structural markup to indicate headings and lists to aid in page comprehension.
4. Association of forms with labels.
5. Association of all data cells in a data table with their headers.
6. JavaScript and style sheets to enhance the appearance and functionality of the site. If these technologies are not available, alternative content is provided where necessary to ensure graceful degradation.
7. Embedded documents and multimedia accessibility efforts are under way. Chickahominy Volunteer Fire Department will provide reasonable alternative formats upon request until this effort is completed.

As we continue to improve our Web site, we will reflect any changes here within our accessibility statement, so you will know the progress we are making.

If you use assistive technology (such as a Braille reader, a screen reader, TTY, etc.) and the format of any material on our web sites interfere with your ability to access the information, please contact
