Remembering Captain Heath on this day. #NHCFR
Nice graphic that's making the rounds on the anniversary of David Heath's death. The New Hanover County Fire Rescue Captain--and former Raleigh FD member, 1996 to 1999--died of a heart attack while participating in training on October 14, 2013.

Working smoke alarms save lives. Do you have working smoke alarms inside the room where you sleep and outside each sleeping area? #NHCFR
Fire isn't bright, it's pitch black. Fire starts bright, but quickly produces black smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, disoriented and unable to find your way around the home you've lived in for years. #NHCFR #FireIsDark
Heat is more threatening than flames and can kill. Inhaling this super-hot air will scorch your lungs. This heat can melt clothes to your skin. In five minutes a room can get so hot that everything in it ignites at once: this is called flashover. #NHCFR #FireisHot
Fire is FAST! Do you have a home escape plan? No, make one. Yes, practice it. #NHCFR #FireIsFast
Join New Hanover County Fire Rescue for "Let's Make a Map" #NHCFR #EscapePlan
Join New Hanover County Fire Rescue as we learn "Smoke Alarm Safety" #NHCFR #SmokeAlarmsSaveLives
Join New Hanover County Fire Rescue for the lesson "Firefighters are special Heros" #NHCFR
#CloseBeforeYouDoze because a closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire. #NHCFR
Do you heat or cook with gas? Do you have an attached garage? Do you have a fireplace? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need a CO alarm. #NHCFR #StaySafe
#HomeFireSprinklerWeek Fact: Sprinklers can stop a fire in less than 1½ minutes. #NHCFR

Is the burn ban still in effect for our county?
I am a Crisis Coordinator with Citizens Assisting Citizens, but I was also a volunteer firefighter and EMS worker, in Nes Hanover County, for several years. I wanted to pass this along, in hopes that our community might be able to help this Department in some manner.

Vinyard Plantation in Porters Neck loves our Fire Fighters! Thank you and God Bless you all!
Ogden Station at Porters Neck
Tonight my neighborhood, NorthChase, will be “Lighting up NorthChase” with red and blue lights, on our homes. We are doing this in honor of those lost on 9/11 and also as a show of support for our first responders. We want you to know we appreciate you and realize that you have been under tremendous stress for months. We want to make our Firefighters aware we are doing this, so they can ride through and possibly bring their families to see the lights. We will keep them on display for at least 3 days.
God bless every single one of you! ❤️🚒❤️
Send some trucks our way today if you can!
Thank you to NHC for making a birthday special. My 5yo thanks you and totally made this a memorable birthday. We thank you for your service and wish you a safe tour.
Why are first responders, when 911 is called, refusing to go into buildings?
