"When everyone else is running away from danger, they run into it.”
– Dwayne Johnson 🚒🚑🚓💨

Today we honor the brave men and women who answer the call — day or night, rain or shine. 🌞🌧🌙

On National First Responders Day, we want to thank all firefighters, paramedics, police officers, dispatchers, and emergency personnel who dedicate their lives to protecting our communities.

At High Point Fire Department, we’re proud to stand alongside our fellow first responders and serve the people of High Point with courage, compassion, and commitment.

Most of the time this job is thankless, so if you see a first responder today, take a moment to say thank you — your appreciation means more than you know. ❤️🔥

🎬🐾Straight from the Roaring ’20s! 🐾🔥

Step back in time with Sparky the Fire Dog and firefighter Jamie Caulder with High Point Fire Department as they show how to properly dispose of a lithium-ion battery! 🪫➡️🔥🚫

Just like the old days, safety never goes out of style. 😉

Remember:
✅ Never toss lithium-ion batteries in the trash or recycling bin
✅ Take them to a proper drop-off location
✅ If it’s damaged or swollen, handle with care

Some approved take back locations in the High Point area are:

-Home Depot or Lowes
-Republic/ EcoFlo 2750 Patterson Dr Greensboro, NC
-HHW Events (next event Nov 15th, 2025)

Watch our vintage flick and keep those sparks where they belong—with Sparky! 💥🐾

🩷 Supporting the Fight Against Breast Cancer 🩷

This past Friday, High Point Fire was honored to participate in the Breast Cancer 5K Walk for Randolph County, NC with our pink fire truck. As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we brought the truck out to help raise awareness and show support for those in our community affected by breast cancer.

Community members had the opportunity to sign the truck in memory or honor of loved ones who have bravely fought this disease. It was powerful to see the messages of hope, strength, and remembrance cover every inch!

All proceeds from the event went directly to the Cone Health Cancer Center, supporting uninsured and underinsured patients with access to mammograms and treatment.

We’re proud to stand with our community in the fight against breast cancer. Thank you to everyone who came out, donated, and shared their stories with us! 🩷🚒
