Yesterday, several of our members, along with members of Burgaw Police Department and numerous other Law Enforcement agencies, had the privilege of participating in the Pender County leg of the North Carolina Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics.

This event allowed personnel to show support for the athletes competing in the games, and get a nice run in with Ainsley’s Angels!

ICYMI: Our very own Mr. Tommy was recognized on Tuesday night, during the regular Town Council meeting, for 55 years of service. Of the total 55 years, Mr. Tommy has spent 47 of them serving the Town of Burgaw.

Mr. Tommy continues to be a pillar in our organization helping to drive us forward through sharing his knowledge and experience training newer personnel, maintaining equipment and apparatus, and responding on calls to aid his community. Even today, Mr. Tommy is serving the citizens as he works a duty shift, doing what he loves, as an Engineer.

Burgaw Fire Department would not be what it is without Mr. Tommy. His guidance, accountability, experience, and commitment to tradition while still progressing to adapt to current needs makes us all better. Thank you, Mr. Tommy for your incredible 55 years of service, and we hope you will continue to serve with us for years to come!

The Burgaw Town Council proudly recognized Thomas “Tommy” Lindsay during the May 12, 2026 Town Council meeting for an incredible 55 years of dedication and commitment to the fire service, including 47 years of faithful service with the Town of Burgaw.

This week, all of our C-Shift personnel, two Volunteers, and the Fire Chief had the opportunity to attend the 1st Due Operations Conference, hosted by 1st Due Tactics, in Carolina Beach. This conference is held locally, every year, but provides students with the opportunity to learn from and engage with some of the premiere instructors from across the country.

This year, our personnel had the opportunity to attend two days of lectures covering topics such as Engine Company operations, Incident Command during a Mayday situation, forcible entry techniques, establishing a culture that prioritizes the primary search, and many others.

On the third day, personnel attended hands-on training for Engine and Truck Company operations, as well as an additional presentation and work group on leadership. Engine Company operations focused on long line deployments and extending existing hose lines, which is often critical in rural environments where residences are found further from a roadway. Truck company operations focused on forcible entry skills and effective search techniques. Finally, the leadership presentation included “The 9L’s”, presented by Chief Corley Moore, and a work group that covered critical personnel management skills related to conflict resolution, as well as behavioral and conduct issues.

The week was busy and challenging, but it was worth it. Personnel returned more knowledgeable, better trained, and more prepared to serve the citizens of Burgaw, and Pender County. We are thankful for a Town Council and Administration who demonstrate their commitment to the health and safety of citizens by supporting attendance at such invaluable training, which enables us to achieve our mission effectively and efficiently.
