Wesley Chapel Fire Department

Wesley Chapel Volunteer Fire Department The Wesley Chapel Volunteer Fire Department (WCVFD) was established in 1975. Our department maintains two stations.

Its district includes some unincorporated areas of Union County, as well as the municipalities of Wesley Chapel and Marvin, portions of Weddington, and a small part of Indian Trail. Station 26 is located on Waxhaw-Indian Trail Rd. and Station 31 is located on New Town Rd. These stations are staffed by a combination of part-time paid staff and volunteer members. Station 26 provides 2 engines, a bru

sh truck, a tanker and a ladder. Station 31 provides 3 engines, a brush truck and a rescue. In addition to fire protection, WCFD also utilizes First Responders to provide rapid response to medical emergencies. WCFD also provides many other public services for the communities it proudly serves. Over the years, our service area has evolved into one of the fastest growing areas in Union County. As a result of this growth, our department has proactively evolved to meet the needs of our citizens. Our department is very fortunate to have such a strong volunteer base, and the vast majority of our members live within the communities that Wesley Chapel Fire Department provides services to. Because of these dedicated members, we operate our department with a strong volunteer foundation, thus allowing us to respond with a large manpower base to handle the most complex incidents. Our department has also made several noteable improvements to buildings, equipment and apparatus, allowing us to better serve the communities of our district; as we have always provided the citizens with the highest level of service possible. It is in this spirit that we will strive to ensure that you are receiving the best emergency services available. Our department is committed to serving your community, and we greatly appreciate your support.

⚠️ANNOUNCEMENT⚠️

After many years of planning and logistics, we are proud to announce the FIRST ANNUAL Todd Hage Golf Tournament!!

On August 11, 2007 FF Todd Hage died in the line of duty when the fire truck he was in rolled over on Waxhaw Indian Trail Road tragically taking Todd’s life.

After many conversations, meetings, and planning it was decided to create a charity and non profit in Todd’s honor to fund scholarships for local high school students. Members of Todd’s family are on the board alongside some department members that worked closely with Todd during his years of service.

We are excited to share this flyer for team registration and look forward to a large turnout. Help us remember Todd and carry on his legacy through the younger generations to come!!

Earlier today, Tanker 43 responded with units from Mineral Springs, Sandy Ridge, Jackson, Forestry Service, and others as part of a mutual aid request to assist Waxhaw Fire Department with a large brush fire. With the extreme summer heat, brush fires become even more challenging and dangerous. If you choose to burn, please do so responsibly and only when conditions are safe and permitted.

Today, Ladder 44 had the opportunity to visit Rea View Elementary School. These presentations are more than just an opportunity to see a fire truck, as they provide children with lifesaving knowledge they can carry with them for years to come. Our goal is to help children learn the importance of:

🚒 Getting out and staying out if there is a fire.
🚒 Identifying a safe family meeting place outside the home.
🚒 Knowing when and how to call 9-1-1 in an emergency.
🚒 Having a fire escape plan at home and practicing it with their family.

Students also had the chance to explore Ladder 44, learn about the specialized tools and equipment firefighters use, and ask plenty of great questions.

A special thank you to Firefighter Aldridge for doing an outstanding job connecting with the students and providing valuable fire safety information.

Last night just before 11:00pm, Wesley Chapel Fire Department responded to a reported residential structure fire on Mourning Dove Dr with the assistance of our mutual aid partners from Waxhaw, Stallings, Indian Land, and Bakers Fire Departments.

Upon arrival, crews encountered heavy fire conditions extending through the roof from the rear of the residence. After coordinated fire attack and ventilation operations, interior conditions improved allowing the incident to be brought under control a short time later.

As a reminder, we ask residents to be mindful when parking vehicles on residential streets. Parking that restricts roadway access can delay emergency response efforts and limit the ability of fire apparatus to safely operate. Whenever possible, please ensure adequate clearance is maintained to allow emergency vehicles unobstructed access to homes and neighborhoods.

Earlier today Station 43 units assisted Stallings Fire Department with a rapidly spreading brush fire that was threatening nearby structures near Chestnut Ln and Strawberry Rd.

Station 43 responded with Brush 43, Engine 43, and Tanker 43. Crews coordinated suppression efforts, and ultimately both Engine 201 and Engine 43 deployed deck guns to knock down remaining fire and ensure all hot spots were fully extinguished.

As the fire risk is still extremely high across our area North Carolina and Union County remain under a burn ban. No outdoor burning of any kind is permitted. This includes the burning of yard debris and trash as well any recreational fires. Even small fires can quickly get out of control in these conditions.

🚫 Burn Ban in Effect 🚫
Due to increased fire risk from dry conditions, the Fire Marshal has issued a countywide burn ban effective immediately.

All outdoor burning is prohibited. Violations may result in fines.

This local ban aligns with the statewide burn ban issued by the N.C. Forest Service yesterday.
