🖤 Westside Fire & Rescue Extends Our Deepest Sympathy 🖤

The members of Westside Fire & Rescue send our heartfelt condolences to the East Side Fire Department, the family of Richard Lambe, and all those who knew and loved him.

During times of loss, we are reminded that the fire service is more than a profession—it is a family. We stand beside our brothers and sisters at Eastside during this difficult time and keep Richard’s family, friends, and department in our thoughts and prayers.

May the memories of Richard bring comfort and strength in the days ahead.

🚒 One Family. One Brotherhood. Always Together.

Rest in Peace, Richard. 🕊️
Gone, but never forgotten.

The 2026–2027 school year is here, and the Nash County Public School buses will officially be back on the road Tuesday morning!

Let’s work together to keep every student safe by remembering North Carolina’s school bus stopping laws:

🟥 Two-Lane Roads: Traffic in BOTH directions must stop.
🟥 Two-Lane with a Center Turn Lane: Traffic in BOTH directions must stop.
🟥 Four Lanes (No Median): Traffic in BOTH directions must stop.
🟨 Divided Highway (with a Median/Barrier): Only traffic following the bus must stop. Opposite traffic may proceed with caution.
🟨 Four or More Lanes (with Center Turn Lane): Only traffic following the bus must stop.

Expect an increase in traffic for the first two weeks of school. Please plan accordingly near school zones and be mindful of school zone speed limits.

Stay alert, slow down, and protect our kids!
