We would like to express our appreciation to those who assisted in yesterday’s water main break on Maple Road.

THANK YOU to the Crawford Volunteer Fire Department!!!! Yesterday they provided two fire apparatus with 1700 feet of hose connecting two hydrants across Maple Road, the Maple Air Field, and the college complex.

Academy students from Currituck County Fire-EMS, Crawford VFD, Moyock VFD, and Lower Currituck VFD, as well as COA instructors all jumped in as well assisting with the cleanup, break down, rolling up, and repacking of the fire hose.

Yesterday’s emergency reinforces the cohesiveness between Currituck County Fire-EMS and the Volunteer Fire Departments.
Everyone’s hard work and dedication allowed the County to make a water main break repair while maintaining water pressure to affected Currituck County residents. Thank you to everyone who was able to come out and assist.

Corolla’s Pine Island Fire Station is proud to welcome its newest fire apparatus. On July 1, Engine 62 was officially placed into service, and B-Shift honored the occasion by performing the traditional push-in ceremony as the engine entered Station 62 for the first time.

Please join us in welcoming Engine 62 and wishing our firefighters many years of safe responses as they continue protecting the Corolla community.
