Our Mission Statement
To minimize the loss of life and property from the effects of fire, medical, rescue, or other hazardous emergencies, and to render assistance as required. South Iredell Fire-Rescue was established April 2nd, 1966 by six landowners looking for better fire protection for their homes and farms in the Coddle Creek Township of Southern Iredell County. South Iredell Fire-Rescue wou
ld then provide the residents and landowners of this rural area with better protection from fire and other emergencies. We moved from our original firehouse to a new station to better suit our apparatus, membership, and community. The need for fire protection and emergency medical care in our area has grown exponentially over the past 20 years with new home construction and economic infrastructure in nearby towns. From our original six members, to the forty plus that serve today, we are committed to our Mission Statement; minimizing the loss of life and property from the effects of fire, medical, rescue, or other hazardous emergencies, and to render assistance as required. 2019 was a record breaking year for us. Responding to over 500 incidents and 6,400 total hours of training, which is 50 incidents and over 4,000 hours more than 2018 alone. 2020 has sure challenged each and every one of us but the Courage and Loyalty shown by our current membership has proven we are stronger than ever. South Iredell continues to strive to provide the best service to our community through timely response to emergencies, training, and positive public relations.
