On July 22, 2024 NC Dept of Insurance conducted our DOI Rating Inspection. At that time we were split Class 5/9E. This means that anyone residing within 5 miles of any of our stations are eligible to receive a discount on their homeowners insurance premiums. Those beyond 5 miles but under 6 would remain a Class 9. On September 24, 2024 we received the results and are excited to announce that we lowered the rating to Class 4/9E going into effect 1/1/2025. Normally residents do not receive much of a premium reduction below Class 6, it is more so for commercial property. Being primarily Volunteer, covering approximately 40 square miles and having no municipal water supply in our area this is an awesome rating. It is only achievable with the support of our Volunteers, Part Time Paid Staff, Auxiliary, and our Board of Directors. If you see any Volunteer out and about please take a second to Thank Them! Not only ours, Volunteers across the US give a lot expecting nothing in return.

We are currently hiring part-time FF/EMT to work 8-10 hour shifts during the week with weekend days also available. Anyone interested who has minimum FFII, EMT-B, and a valid NC drivers license may drop by the station to apply or to get more information. You can also use Contact Us  to send an email. Hourly pay is very competitive along with the department providing additional insurance.
