🖤 IN LOVING MEMORY OF FIREFIGHTER FREDDIE OUTLAND 🖤

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that Woodland Volunteer Fire Department announces the passing of our brother, Firefighter Freddie Outland, who proudly served our department and the citizens of Woodland for 51 years.

Mr. Freddie was more than a firefighter. He was a pioneer, a dedicated public servant, and an important part of the foundation upon which our department stands today. He was among those who helped build this department during its earliest days, when resources were scarce, equipment was limited, and protective clothing consisted of little more than rain boots, rain jackets, and fire helmets. Through those humble beginnings, he helped lay the groundwork for the department we are proud to serve with today by serving as Firefighter, and holding the rank of Lieutenant and later Captain.

His dedication never wavered. Whether leading the way during fundraisers, lending a helping hand wherever needed, or responding to emergency calls when his community needed him, Mr. Freddie was someone you could always count on. His commitment to this department and the people we serve will never be forgotten.

Beyond his service, Mr. Freddie had a joking personality that could lighten the atmosphere around the station and bring a smile to those around him. Those moments of laughter, his friendship, and his unwavering dedication are memories we will carry with us forever.

Fifty-one years of service is more than a legacy. It is a lifetime of sacrifice, commitment, and brotherhood. Our department is better because of him, and his impact will continue to live on through every firefighter who follows in his footsteps.

As we mourn the loss of our brother, we ask that you keep his family, loved ones, and the entire Woodland Volunteer Fire Department family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Firefighter Freddie. Your watch is over, your service is complete, and your legacy will never be forgotten. We will take it from here, brother.

May you rest in eternal peace, Firefighter Freddie Outland.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at Lasker Volunteer Fire Department!

Today we celebrate the incredible dads in our community — the ones who teach us strength, courage, and what it means to show up when it matters most.

Whether you're a father who runs toward the fire, a dad who supports our volunteers, or the steady hand that holds your family together through every challenge, today is for YOU!

Thank you for your sacrifices, your late nights, your quiet strength, and the love that keeps our community going strong. From teaching your kids how to check the smoke detectors to being the hero who answers the call — we see you, and we are grateful.

Wishing all our fathers, father figures, and families a safe, joyful, and love-filled Father's Day!

Please do not burn tomorrow!

Increased Risk of Wildfire Due to Elevated Fire Danger -- Thursday, June 18, 2026

The National Weather Service has issued fire danger statements for central and eastern North Carolina. What does increased fire danger mean for you today?

🎯 Fires can start from the smallest spark.
🎯 Dry conditions and wind increase fire spread.
🎯 Everyday activities carry more risk right now.

Avoid burning, and be cautious with anything that could cause a spark. Properly dispose of smoking materials such as ci******es. Be extremely careful with machinery and farm equipment when working outdoors.

Contact your N.C. Forest Service county ranger's office for guidance.

Spread prevention, not wildfire.
