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 brush 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.

POTTER ROAD & HWY 84 SHUT DOWN

Due to an early morning accident, Potter Rd and Hwy 84 will be shut down. Crews are on scene awaiting DOT, Power, and an investigation.

With that said, folks. When our fire apparatus are blocking the entire roadway, DO NOT drive around them. These vehicles are being used to block traffic flow for first responder safety, not your convenience.

We are saddened to learn about the passing of another American hero in our community.

We are encouraging members of the community to attend the funeral of Sean Michael Lee on Tuesday, September 22, at Weddington Methodist Church in Weddington, NC, at 2 PM.

Sean was a retired U.S. Army paratrooper who served our nation for more than 20 years, including multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division. After retiring from the Army, his service continued. He served Veterans and their families, helped evacuate thousands of Afghan allies following the fall of Kabul, supported humanitarian operations in Ukraine, provided disaster relief in Western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene, and most recently served as a political appointee at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Sean spent his life showing up when others needed him. We are asking the community to show up for him one final time and help us give this American paratrooper the farewell he earned. Our Ladder 41 will be proudly displaying the American Flag.

Funeral Service for Sean Michael Lee
Tuesday, September 22, 2026

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.
