Going on vacation? Here's a simple trick to check if your freezer lost power while you were gone: Freeze a glass of water with a quarter on top. If the quarter is at the bottom when you return, your food may not be safe to eat.

Tarp and body bag for immersion
Towels to be iced and wet

Cheap to make and life saving 🛟

Aircraft are being used to support wildland firefighting efforts on multiple wildfires in our state right now. Wildfires are a no-drone zone.

It’s illegal to fly a drone near or over a wildfire in North Carolina.

N.C.G.S. §15A-300.4 -- No person, entity, or State agency shall use an unmanned aircraft system within either a horizontal distance of 3,000 feet or a vertical distance of 3,000 feet from any forest fire within the jurisdiction of the North Carolina Forest Service.

Firefighting aircraft that respond to wildfires fly low in support of ground personnel. Drones can pose a serious threat to pilot and public safety. A drone that disrupts air operations also puts firefighters, residents and property at risk of loss to wildfire.

Remember, wildfires are a no-drone zone. If you fly, we can’t.

Boonville Volunteer Fire Department members recently participated in a live burn training exercise hosted by Yadkinville Fire Department alongside several neighboring mutual aid departments. This hands-on training provided firefighters with valuable experience in realistic fireground conditions, allowing them to practice fire suppression, search and rescue operations, ventilation techniques, and teamwork in a controlled environment.
Training with surrounding departments strengthens interagency cooperation, enhances communication, and ensures a coordinated response during emergency incidents. Boonville Volunteer Fire Department appreciates the opportunity to train with our mutual aid partners and remains committed to providing the highest level of service and protection to our community.
