Earlier this year, we responded to a terrible car crash that entrapped and critically injured both drivers. Working with our partners from Nine Mile Volunteer Fire Department, Southwest Volunteer Fire Department, Onslow County Emergency Services and Airlink Vitalink, we were able to quickly extricate both victims and get them evacuated to a Trauma Center for lifesaving care. It was the worst day ever for those 2 drivers, but just another day in our mission.

Tonight we got a rare and unexpected surprise when one of the victims of that terrible accident came to our station to express her thanks for our efforts to save her.

We rarely get to see those we help after the emergency is over so it is a rare treat when it happens. We are thrilled to see her doing so well.

It’s that time of the year again. No worries if the waters dirty. Let that water faucet run until it clears up.

Hats Off to Our Local Fire Departments!

You may begin seeing local fire departments flushing hydrants throughout our communities. This routine work typically takes place between Labor Day and Memorial Day and helps ensure hydrants are ready when they’re needed. Customers nearby may temporarily notice changes in water pressure or some discoloration. If your water appears discolored, simply run the cold water for a few minutes until it clears.

A big thank you to our local firefighters for all they do to keep our communities safe!

Our "Quench our Crew" Hydration Donation event today was a ROARING success!

Caring neighbors from around the corner and around the county stepped up BIG and delivered dozens of cases of water and sports drinks to keep us well stocked, and we are so humbled and blessed for your support. Small families, small businesses and even bigger businesses from around the county like Sonic Drive-In all delivered more than water...they delivered love and support!

We are so very thankful and honored to live in, and serve such a special community!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!

Your donation will help us stay ready to serve in these hot conditions

Our "Quench our crew" hydration drive is just a few days away, so we thought we'd share what we are up against when we have to fight fires in these hot summer conditions.

95° outside feels like almost 120° inside our turnout gear, and that doesn't include the heat we encounter in the fire itself!!

When it's this hot, hydration is the difference between us just being hot, or needing medical intervention.

We recently had the opportunity to host a wonderful group of youngsters from Girl Scout Troop 1911. They came to our station to meet Captain Justin and Firefighter Austin. They got to see our station and equipment, and to learn important skills like how to call 911 for help, how to STOP-DROP & ROLL if they are on fire. They also got to see a Firefighter in thier full turnout and airpak so they won't be afraid of us if we ever have to come find them in a fire.

The Scouts had a great time and all left a whole lot better informed and prepared to help in an emergency

If you are looking for an excellent organization to help your young lady be a better educated and prepared citizen, consider connecting with Girl Scout Troop 1911
