The adversity.

The struggles of life.

The constant battle of complacency.

The pain and soreness that we daily endure.

Its all worth it when you have the opportunity to light up these little faces and enstill hope back into humanity.

Believe in yourself, because they do.

Not only is every incident a training opportunity, but it's often times an opportunity for education.

This morning, while on a fire alarm at a local school, staff was honored to meet two young boys. They are from Jamaica and have been in the United States for less than a week. A fire alarm pull station is new to them as they didn't have them in schools in Jamaica. These two young boys were excited to learn about when/why we pull the fire alarm and view our fire truck.

Our 2023 Justin E. Monroe Fire Camp is officially over. We were blessed with an amazing group of boys and girls for our first year hosting this camp. We were all sad to see it end, but there is always next year.

Today's session consisted of vehicle extraction in the morning and the afternoon was spent at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. Participants were able to view and climb two ladder trucks thanks to Salisbury NC Fire Department. Participants then conquered their fears and repelled from the top floor of the training tower.

Tonight we will honor their time and participation with a meal and graduation ceremony with their families.

To say we are excited for the future is an understatement. Thankful for the support of town staff and our elected officials.

SPENCER — When the existing fire station in town was built in 2002, it was constructed for a fully volunteer department, without much planning for the future.
