🔥 Class 1 isn’t just a rating, it’s a reflection of a first-class team. Proud of our Granite Quarry Fire Department for once again earning the BEST rating in the state! 🚒

The Office of State Fire Marshal has completed its routine inspection of the Granite Quarry Fire Department, and once again, our department has earned a Class 1 rating, which is the highest rating available under North Carolina’s Response Rating System. The rating is effective December 1, 2026.

This accomplishment is a direct reflection of the dedication, training, professionalism, and hard work of our firefighters and officers. The state’s inspection evaluates critical areas including staffing, equipment, equipment maintenance, communications capabilities, and water supply.

State Fire Marshal Brian Taylor congratulated Chief Hord and the Granite Quarry Fire Department, recognizing the dedication and hard work of our entire team. He noted that residents can take comfort in knowing they have a highly capable team of firefighters protecting them, their families, and their property when an emergency occurs.

An ISO Class 1 rating is something our entire community can be proud of. It demonstrates the Town’s continued commitment to providing the highest level of fire protection and emergency response possible to our residents and businesses. It can also have a positive impact on homeowners’ insurance rates within the fire district.

Thank you to every member of the Granite Quarry Fire Department for your commitment to our community. We are proud of you!

Granite Quarry Fire Department — ISO Class 1

It’s an honor to serve alongside these two gentlemen, who are both such incredible assets to our community. I’m especially excited to serve together as part of this year’s Rowan County United Way Campaign Cabinet.

This is a great group of leaders who genuinely care about Rowan County and the people who call it home. I’m looking forward to all we’ll accomplish together as we support the important work United Way and its community partners are doing across our county.

We Are Rowan. We Are United Way. 💙
