One of the many benefits to volunteering is free education! As a sponsored student from Clyde Firefighter K.

Good morning it is Friday 8/22/2025 ...
It has been a very long week with this event and we as a local fire department along with county and state agencies are working and evaluating on a constant basis the best way to control and confine this large scale incident with as minimal impact to the public as possible. We are consulting many different resources for our best options.Our department has spent multiple hours this week on site to extinguish spot fires on other mulch piles and assisting in confining the larger fire to the original pile that has been burning internally for at least two months. We want to thank our group of incredible volunteer members for their dedication to serve and protect our community by giving of their time and energy not just on this event but every day, you will not find a greater group of individuals out there and we consider it our privilege and honor to serve our neighbors and friends. We will continue to update as events warrant and change. We also empathize with the impact to the public of the smoke and are working on a constant basis with our agencies partners to minimize that situation. We have also attached a link below that explains how mulch fires start and progress and may shed some light on this current situation...Chief Steve Kelley

We are delighted to announce that we are the recipients of a $50,000 grant from the North Carolina Office of the State Fire Marshal. This grant will facilitate the upgrade of the pump and water tank unit on our brush truck, also known as a skid unit. We will also be acquiring a wildland unit for our UTV. Both pieces of equipment will bolster our readiness for various emergencies. Moreover, we will be replacing all nozzles on our preconnected hose lines, which enable swift deployment and water delivery at fire incidents. The standardization of nozzles on all apparatus will greatly enhance firefighter's efficiency.
