Hey ! The Knightdale Fire Department would like to congratulate two of our own, Fire Lieutenants Adam Beasley and Anthony Parrinello, who were recognized last night for recently completing the Graduate Certificate Program in Conflict Resolution at The University of Alabama!

This professional development opportunity was voluntarily pursued in addition to their regular responsibilities, demonstrating an extraordinary commitment to both personal growth and public service. Their dedication to serving our community and strengthening our organization is truly commendable.

We'd like to thank: Dr. Jennifer Humber, Director of the Graduate Certificate Program in Conflict Resolution, and her team for sharing their expertise, encouragement, and passion for helping our local leaders develop essential conflict resolution skills. We'd also like to thank Chief Loren Cone, Mayor Jessica Day, and the Town Council for their support in this venture.

Please join us in congratulating Lieutenants Beasley and Parrinello!

Hey . We unfortunately have to close the restrooms at the Knightdale Station Park soccer fields for the entire weekend because they were vandalized overnight.😕

Park amenities aren't just public property; they also belong to YOU, the members of our community. Help us protect these conveniences. If you see something, say something. Keep an eye out for any strange or illegal behavior and report it to our public safety officials.

We want our park facilities to remain beautiful and accessible to everyone. Your assistance is valuable in helping us maintain that goal.

Thanks in advance, Knightdale.

On Tuesday July 14th, our C-Shift crews gathered for a moment of silence to remember our fallen brother, Firefighter Todd Blanchard.

Todd paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Line of Duty on July 14th, 2005. We pause to remember his service and sacrifice to citizens of the Alert and Knightdale Fire Districts.

🔥 July is National Grilling Month, ! 🔥 Fire up those grills and let the deliciousness begin, but ALWAYS be safe while doing so! Whether you're flipping burgers, skewering veggies, or grilling up some fresh seafood, there's no better way to enjoy summer than with good food, great company, and a "safety first" mindset. Check out some great grilling safety tips below.

Let’s make this month a celebration of flavor, fun, and fire safety in Knightdale!
