October Station of the Month: Farmville Fire Department

Join us in recognizing the Farmville Fire Department as our October Station of the Month!

Farmville Fire Department continues to be a strong partner in providing continuing education and professional development opportunities for firefighters throughout Pitt County. We appreciate their continued support of our Fire and Emergency Management programs and their commitment to serving the citizens of their community.

Below is an overview of the department's history and operations, provided by the Town of Farmville website:

Farmville Fire Department

The Farmville Fire Department was chartered in 1915 and began operations as a department within the Farmville town government.

Today, the department is a 40-member, all-volunteer organization funded by the Town of Farmville. The department operates under the leadership of a Fire Chief and two Assistant Chiefs.

The Farmville Fire Department provides fire protection to an area covering approximately a six-mile radius around Farmville and currently responds to an average of 225 emergency calls each year.

The department's primary equipment consists of two pumpers, one brush truck, and one firefighter support vehicle.

Please join us in congratulating Firefighter Cesar on beginning his new career in the United States Air Force! Sadly, he will be leaving us in just a few days, but we couldn’t be more proud of you and wish you nothing but the best in this next chapter!

Firefighter Cesar plans to serve in the Air Force as a Pararescueman (PJ). When asked why he chose this path, his response was simple:

“I want to save lives and fight against the evil in this world.”

To reflect on his time in the fire service, we asked him, “What has been your favorite moment since you started volunteering?” Once again, his response was simple:

“I enjoyed riding the trucks with the boys and going to help someone.”

Cesar, we are incredibly proud of you and everything you have accomplished during your time with us. Thank you for your service to our department and our community. We know you will carry that same dedication and desire to help others with you into the Air Force.

From all of us at the 53 House, congratulations, Firefighter Cesar! We wish you safe travels, good luck, and the very best as you begin this new journey. Go make us proud! 🇺🇸🚒

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless families, friends, and communities forever changed by that day.

We especially remember the 343 firefighters and 60 law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while responding to those in need. Their courage, selflessness, and commitment to protecting others will never be forgotten.

As firefighters, we carry their legacy with us every time we answer the call. We honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice by continuing to serve our communities with the same courage and dedication.

Never Forget. 🇺🇸
