Long Creek Fire Department

Our story from the beginning! We’re proud of where we’ve come from, where we are, and where we are going. Tradition will never be lost; only built upon.

We know we’ve mentioned station renovations recently….

We are looking for a few great firemen to be a part of our team. Lazy, non aggressive, stagnant firemen need not apply.

- 4 man engine
- day and night shifts available
- leadership that lets firemen be firemen
- station renovations underway
- top response area in Mecklenburg county for fires and pin ins

We know we’ve had some “non traditional colored trucks”, but hear us out …….
