🎗️ This October, we wear pink 🎗️

For fire departments across the country, Breast Cancer Awareness shirts look different. However, the meaning behind wearing them is the same.
We know the importance of looking out for our own. We know that behind every firefighter is a family, a crew, and a community that cares. And we know that cancer affects far too many of the people who wear this uniform.

That’s why our 2026 Breast Cancer Awareness shirts are about more than raising awareness. Proceeds help support local firefighters and cancer treatments, giving back to those who need it most. 🎗️

So when you see us wearing pink this October, know that it’s not just a color. It’s support, it's solidarity, it's community. And we’d love for you to wear it with us.

🩷 Our 2026 shirts are officially available! Stop by our headquarters station at 1401 Neuse Blvd during business hours to purchase yours! 🩷

And if you happen to see some of our members wearing a little something special, follow them to the tent for your first chance at taking home some very PINK shirts.

Our 2026 Breast Cancer Awareness shirts are coming soon, and this event is giving you an early look at what’s to come!

New Bern, I know it's a bit early for a Saturday, but we wanted to say thank you.

Yesterday, you showed up for us in more ways than you probably realize. You stopped by our stations on the way to work. You dropped off food, and offered kind words. You joined us at our memorial, shook our hands, and brightened our day. Knowing that our community stands behind us makes the job that much more meaningful. We truly love doing this and will tell anyone who asks (truthfully, you don't even have to ask) that it's the best job in the world.

Thank you for remembering with us. Thank you for supporting your firefighters. And thank you for always reminding us that we’re never standing alone.
From all of us at New Bern Fire-Rescue: thank you! ❤️ .

As always, stay safe, be kind, and we are here if you need us. 🚒🇺🇸

Join us tonight at Union Point Park or along the parade route for the Silent Parade of first responders as we remember 9/11 & honor first responders for their service & sacrifice. The parade begins in Bridgeton, crosses the Neuse River Bridge & comes into downtown New Bern over the Cunningham Bridge along E. Front Street. Once the vehicles clear the traffic circle, the parade disbands along Broad Street.

This morning, some of our own—Nic Fortier, Max Harrison, Josh Forbis, and Kevin Avila—along with Shane Naber of Township 7 Fire Department, climbed 110 floors in full gear to honor those who fell on this day 25 years ago. May the impact of that tragedy never be forgotten.

Today, we remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice, the families who were forever changed, and the countless first responders who answered the call that day.
May we never forget their courage, their sacrifice, or the lasting impact of that tragic day.

Great job, gentlemen, and thank you for carrying their memory forward.

May we never forget! 🇺🇸

September 11, 2001. This year marks 25 years.
At 8:46 a.m., the North Tower of the World Trade Center was struck. Nine minutes later, the South Tower was hit. By the end of that day, 2,977 people had lost their lives, including 343 firefighters, 71 law enforcement officers, and 55 military personnel.

Some firefighters serving in our department today were not yet born on September 11, 2001.
They didn’t witness the attacks. They didn’t know the 343 firefighters who never came home. But they inherited the responsibility.

They wear the uniform those firefighters wore.
They do the job they did.
And they carry their legacy every time they answer the call. Twenty-five years later, the generation that responded that day is getting smaller. The generation carrying their legacy forward is getting bigger.

We remember the 343.
We honor every life lost.
And we continue to show up.
The job changed. The responsibility didn’t.
September 11, 2001. May we never forget.
