May's monthly community report is out for ya'll to see what we've been up to.
May was a good month for us. We've brought on several new volunteers, and this past Thursday night we had 31 members turn out for live burn evolutions in our training building, which shows solid commitment from both our volunteers and our paid staff.
We have all the equipment in for the new-to-us Rescue truck and it's almost ready to be placed in service. We're meeting with vendors to spec out two new apparatus that will replace some of our older fleet.
We also provided coverage for our friends at Deep Creek ATV park for their annual Memorial Weekend Creekfest concerts and races, which saw no major injuries or accidents throughout the weekend but some amazing food trucks that we had to try out for safety reasons.
On the training side, we're still hosting FTCC's Fire Academy at night, which continues to see solid attendance numbers. It's great to see the next generation of firefighters putting in the work to learn their craft.
Thanks to M & J Collision Repair and Towing in Dunn we had a couple of cars to cut on for extrication training with our friend Todd Bane teaching. And we also attended multi-company training with our neighbors in both Harnett County for ropes and technical rescue operations and the City of Fayetteville for live fire and search evolutions.
All in all, May was a good month. We're keeping busy, the trucks are running, the people are showing up, the training is happening, and as far as we know, nothing's broken (except Chief's patience with us from time to time but that's every month so nothing new there).
