On Tuesday night June 23rd Sandy Bottom Volunteer Fire and Rescue held our annual meeting.

During this time we took an opportunity to recognize our Lenoir County graduates that received scholarships through the fire department and the Fisher and Rhodes family’s.

Each graduate received a $3,000 check to further their education.

The graduates and their families were invited to attend the meeting and enjoyed a meal and fellowship with the members that were present.

We also took the time to dedicate
Sandy Bottom Engine 2 in the memory of the late Mr. George W. Fisher, III who had served our fire department as a long time member holding positions of Fire Chief and President during his tenure.
We were honored to have some of his family present and be a part of the dedication ceremony.
A bronze plaque was added to the pump panel of the engine to show significance of this honor.

Recipients of the scholarships are as follows:

Ashton Rhodes scholarship:
Layla Whitfield
Jaelyn Burkett
Brayden Burd
Miken Williams (not present)

Ashton Rhodes legacy scholarship:
Carley Boone

George W. Fisher, III scholarship:
Spencer Stocks

Presentation of the checks:

Sandy Bottom Fire and Rescue would like to wish these young men and ladies all the best in their future endeavors.

Today, Sandy Bottom Volunteer Fire & Rescue had the opportunity to host approximately 15 teens participating in the Lenoir County Sheriff's Department's 'Camp Lenoir 2026.' This camp, in its third year, gives kids aged 11-17 the opportunity to interact with first responders and learn about community service and safety. Hopefully, this will give the kids insight into their future growth. Perhaps we have a future law enforcement officer, firefighter, or paramedic in this group! They were very attentive and asked appropriate questions when given the opportunity. It was a very respectful group of young men and women.
