Strengthening partnerships. Enhancing readiness.
Over the past several weeks, Lewisville Fire Department has been working alongside King and Kernersville Fire Departments to strengthen our regional water rescue capabilities.
Last week marked our first multi-day "show and tell" event, where team members visited each department's stations to review rescue equipment, specialized resources, and deployment capabilities. Understanding each team's assets and procedures helps ensure a seamless response when called upon to serve together.
The partnership also took an important step forward by scheduling our first joint water rescue training exercise for August.
These collaborative efforts not only benefit our local communities but also strengthen our ability to support disaster response operations across North Carolina and beyond when deployments are needed. Together, we are building stronger teams, stronger partnerships, and safer communities.
