🚒 A New Chapter at Level Cross Fire Department

Beginning October 1, 2026, Level Cross Fire Department will begin a trial of the 48/96 work schedule for our full-time personnel.

This schedule provides 48 hours on duty followed by 96 hours off, giving our firefighters more consecutive time at home with their families, fewer commutes, and greater opportunities for rest, recovery, and a healthier work/home-life balance.
While the schedule may be changing, our commitment to the Level Cross community and the level of service we provide will not.

We are excited to take this step forward, invest in our personnel, and evaluate the benefits this schedule can provide to both our firefighters and their families.

Taking care of our community starts with taking care of our people. 🚒

Yesterday at 11:26 a.m., Level Cross Fire Department responded to a reported residential structure fire. Upon arrival, crews found a well-involved, working fire.

Firefighters quickly initiated fire suppression operations while crews completed a search of the residence, confirming that all occupants were safely out of the home.

We would like to thankCity of Randleman Fire Department , Pinecroft Sedgefield Fire Department, and Central Piedmont Fire Department for their assistance on scene. We greatly appreciate the strong working relationships we have with our neighboring departments.

Strong work by all crews involved.

Today we honor the memory of Assistant Chief Mike Childress, who gave his life in service to our community on May 7, 2005. Mike was the kind of leader who showed up, stepped in, and put others first even on the days he didn’t feel his best. His dedication, his quiet strength, and his devotion to the Level Cross community will never be forgotten.
We remember his sacrifice, his service, and the legacy he left behind.
