Burke Volunteer Fire Department To Host Bloodmobile In April, May

BURKE, VA — Burke Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department is partnering with Inova Blood Donor Services for blood donation drives in April and May.

The Inova Bloodmobile will be at the fire station at 9501 Old Burke Lake Rd. from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13 and Wednesday, May 11.

The American Red Cross said it is facing a national blood crisis, the worst blood shortage in more than a decade. Doctors have been forced to make difficult decisions about who receives blood transfusions and who will need to wait until more blood supplies become available, according to the Red Cross.

Members of the public can schedule an appointment on the Inova blood donation website, or call Inova at 1-866-BLOODSAVES (1-866-256-6372) and use sponsor code 8509.

All questions related to the blood drive at the Burke Volunteer Fire Department should be directed to Inova Blood Donor Services at 1-855-256-6372.
