Today, we had the honor of celebrating the retirement of Assistant Fire Marshal Doug Steele.

Doug began his fire service career more than 40 years ago, dedicating his life to protecting and serving others. For more than 20 of those years, he faithfully served with the Cabarrus County Fire Marshal's Office, where his knowledge, leadership, and commitment to public safety have left a lasting impact on our department and the citizens of Cabarrus County.

Throughout his career, Doug has mentored countless firefighters and fire marshals, conducted inspections and investigations, and helped make our community a safer place. His dedication and professionalism have earned the respect and admiration of everyone who has had the privilege of working alongside him.

Thank you, Doug, for your decades of selfless service and unwavering commitment to the fire service. We wish you a long, healthy, and well-deserved retirement filled with family, friends, and new adventures.

Congratulations on your retirement—you've certainly earned it! 🚒🎉

Congratulations to the Georgeville Fire Department on achieving their first ISO rating lower than a 9. The department has been awarded an ISO Class 5 rating, which is a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and preparation of the department’s members and leadership over the last several years.

Fire departments are graded on their preparation and ability to respond to structure fire incidents. ISO ratings are scored on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the best possible rating and 10 meaning no recognized fire protection.

If you live in the Georgeville Fire District, you may want to contact your homeowners insurance company and let them know about the new ISO Class 5 rating, as it could result in potential savings on your insurance.

Lint happens. Fires don’t have to. Lint buildup can lead to a dryer fire if it’s not cleaned regularly.

• Clean the lint filter before or after each load.
• Make sure the outdoor vent flap opens when the dryer is running.
• Have a qualified service person clean the inside of the dryer cabinet and exhaust duct once a year.

Okay, it’s the post you’ve all been waiting for. 👀

As of 8:00AM tomorrow morning May 8th, the county and state burn ban will both be lifted.

😏 Now, we know that everyone has a pile of “stuff” in their back yard that they have been accumulating for the last month during this ban that they have just been itching to burn. We know you stand at your back door in the evening gazing into the back yard with your lighter in your hand just wishing and hoping this ban would come to an end. We fully expect smoke will be rising from the county like some kind of open burning celebration this weekend. 🔥 🪵

Please do so safely!

Also please remember there are normal regulations that still have to be followed.

✅All burning must be done at a safe distance from structures.
✅No burning trash, furniture, dimensional lumber or any other item that you just aren’t sure how else to get rid of.
✅Only yard debris, limbs, sticks and leaves can be burned.
✅Fires must be attended at all times.
✅An adequate extinguishing method must be present.

Please continue to be safety minded.🧠

Thank you for helping us during this time to keep Cabarrus County Safe!🧯
