Leasburg Volunteer Fire Department

This was copied from another post but applies to Leasburg also.

🚒 Your local volunteer fire department may need you — even if you have absolutely no desire to run into a burning building.

When people hear that their local fire company needs volunteers, they often assume that means becoming a firefighter.

It doesn't.

Volunteer fire companies need all kinds of people, with all kinds of skills.

You may be able to help with fundraising, community events, administrative work, social media, photography, grant writing, maintenance, traffic control/fire police, auxiliary activities, bookkeeping, recruitment, or simply lending an extra set of hands when there's work to be done.

Maybe you have a professional skill that could benefit your department. Maybe you're great at organizing events. Maybe you can cook. Maybe you have a few hours a month and just want to do something meaningful in your community.

There may be a place for you.

Our volunteer fire departments aren't just emergency services. They're community organizations made up of neighbors who choose to give their time to help other neighbors.

And keeping them strong takes more than firefighters.

If you've ever thought, “I'd like to help, but I don't know what I could do,” stop by your local fire company and ask.

You might be surprised how much you have to offer. ❤️🚒

We are grateful to and for their support through the 2026 DripDrop Hydration Giveback Campaign! Fast hydration is essential for our firefighters working in summer heat, during wildfires, and on long calls.

Maybe you have seen these vehicles at our Ridgeville Rd station this week. These vehicles belong to Southern States. Southern States is using our station to conduct annual training for their employees across the region. They will be around throughout Friday of this week.
We along with Prospect Hill Volunteer Fire Department were fortunate enough to get a couple of hours of training Tuesday night as you can see in the third picture.

Due to increased wildfire risk, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a ban on all open burning and has canceled all burning permits statewide effective 6 p.m. Saturday, March 28 until further notice.

Under North Carolina law, the ban prohibits all open burning in the affected counties, regardless of whether a permit was previously issued. The issuance of any new permits has also been suspended until the ban is lifted. Anyone violating the burn ban faces a $100 fine plus $183 court costs. Any person responsible for setting a fire may be liable for any expenses related to extinguishing the fire.

The burn ban does not apply to fires started within 100 feet of an occupied dwelling. The local fire marshal has authority to issue a burn ban within those 100 feet.
