Grantham Volunteer Fire Department

05/31/2026

Some of our members got to go today to Smith Chapel Volunteer Fire Department for a live burn. These trainings are great opportunities for fireman to get to make runs under live fire to work on their skills for when responding to structure fires. Its also great opportunity to have these evolutions in an acquired structure. That makes it about as real as it gets. We want to thank everyone at Smith Chapel for the hospitality and great lunch as well as for the invite today. Most importantly we want to thank the live burn instructors for taking their time out on a Saturday and sharing their knowledge with us to perfect this craft. And WCC for giving these opportunities to the departments in our county to train and better serve our communities.

Great turn out from Smith Chapel VFD, Grantham VFD, Jordans Chapel VFD, Mount Olive VFD, Thoroughfare VFD, and Calypso VFD

Back in March, we were dispatched to assist EMS in reference to Mrs. Maureen and a traumatic injury to her legs

Everything fell in place, from EMS and us, to the doctors and medical staff on the backside.

Through this teamwork, Mrs. Maureen's determination, and the blessings of God, Mrs. Maureen and her husband Jeff, were able to walk in our station tonight, provide us supper, and show their sincere appreciation to our crew.

This is what it's all about!

Our members were able to get hands on training with our tools that are utilized in these situations and able to get to practice real life scenarios on some vehicles. We train on this regularly so our members can stay sharp on skills to better serve the community when the need arises.

While we are sharing the news, Wayne County will cancel it's burn ban tomorrow as well. This is for all open burning with 100 feet of an occupied dwelling.

As always, the only thing you can burn is natural vegetation. Tires, trash, the broken trampoline from 2 years ago, and the insulation off of that copper wire you found is never legal.

The N.C. Forest Service has lifted their ban on all open burning in 81 counties effective 8am on May 3. With this news, Wayne County’s burn ban will also be lifted at the same time.

We’re still in a drought so please be careful if you decide to start a fire!

Please note:

This is for permitted burning outside of the 100 foot radius of an occupied dwelling
