That's a wrap on 2026 Disaster COMMS School Week!

Cumberland County, in partnership with NC Emergency Management (NCEM), was honored to welcome nearly 120 emergency communications and emergency services professionals from across North Carolina and beyond to our area for this year's training.

Hosted at FTCC's Fire and Rescue Training Center, the week kicked off with training courses in INTD/TERT, COML, COMT, ITSL and AuxCOMM. The week wrapped up with a hands-on exercise Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, giving participants the opportunity to put their training into practice.

During the simulation, participants worked together across agencies to respond to a tornado that knocked out communications, challenging them to establish communications from the ground up and put their training into action.

We're grateful to NCEM for partnering with us and to Fayetteville Technical Community College for serving as our host facility. Thank you to all the participants, instructors and partners who made this week of collaboration, learning and preparedness possible. We were honored to host this important training in Cumberland County!

Our hearts are heavy as we stand alongside the Durham Fire Department following the tragic line-of-duty death of one of their firefighters and the injuries of two others.

The emergency services community is more than a profession; it is a family. When one of our own is lost, that loss is felt far beyond the department they served.

On behalf of Cumberland County Emergency Services, we extend our deepest condolences to the fallen firefighter’s family, friends, colleagues, and the entire Durham Fire Department. We also send our thoughts and prayers to the injured firefighters and wish them strength and a full recovery.

Today, we stand united with our brothers and sisters in Durham, honoring the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of those who answer the call to serve.

Your emergency service family stands with you.
