We will be performing a live burn next Saturday November 22. We are looking for furniture that could be donated and used as furnishings to train for real life scenarios in a house fire. If you have anything at all you would like to donate, please reach out to us. Thanks in advance!

**PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT **

For those who live in and around town you may have been hearing a siren going off at 12(noon). The siren is located on a tower at the fire department and has been unused for the past few years, well that is being changed. We are going back to using the siren notifying when we have a call. We will also be setting it off at 12pm every(week day) afternoon. For now it may be intermittent due to having to manually set it off for calls, but once we receive our new base radio we will have it set up to go off for every call and every afternoon at noon. This siren is not just apart of our history but is also an aide in notifying our volunteers when we have a call as well.

Calypso Fire Department was dispatched to Parker Street this evening for a vehicle fire endangering a structure. Faison Fire and Mount Olive Fire were dispatched as automatic aid. Calypso Car 1 arrived to find a working vehicle fire very close to a residential dwelling. Calypso Engine 1 arrived and deployed a 1.5” attack line to knock down the fire. Faison units arrived to assist with knock down and overhaul. Mount Olive Fire units were cancelled before arrival. Thank you to Faison and Mount Olive for the help this evening. Strong work by all involved this evening to protect exposures and extinguish the fire quickly!!
