Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001—a day that forever changed our nation and the fire service.

We honor the 2,977 lives lost that day, including the 343 FDNY firefighters who answered the call and never returned home.

They climbed while others were coming down. They ran toward danger when every instinct said to run away. Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to others represent the very best of the fire service.

Today, we remember every life lost, every family forever changed, and every first responder who answered the call.

May we never forget their names, their courage, or their sacrifice.

🇺🇸 343. Never Forgotten.

We are always looking for new members. We meet Monday nights at 7pm. Come join us and help your community. We can’t wait to meet you.

Picture this:

It’s 2:14 AM in Wayne County.
Rain pouring. Somebody’s house is on fire. Kids are standing outside barefoot. A family’s entire life is changing in real time.

And somewhere nearby, a pager goes off.

Not for a superhero.
Not for a paid celebrity athlete.
For an ordinary person who decided to volunteer.

A mechanic.
A lineman.
A farmer.
A water plant operator.
A person who was sitting on the couch 3 minutes ago.

That person gets up, throws on shoes, and goes.

That could be you.

Most people spend their lives wanting to matter more. Wanting purpose. Wanting something real. Volunteer fire service gives you that immediately. When you show up on scene, people are relieved just because you arrived.

You’ll do things most people never experience:

* Ride a fire engine lights and sirens through your own community
* Train with people who become family
* Push yourself physically and mentally
* Learn how to stay calm when everybody else panics
* Be part of something bigger than yourself

And years from now, when somebody says:

“Thank God the fire department got here…”

You’ll know you were part of that.

You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be fearless. Every firefighter started as the new guy who didn’t know anything.

What matters is showing up.

Wayne County’s volunteer departments need people willing to answer the call. Not someday. Now.

So the real question is:

If your community needed help tonight… would you want to be standing on the sidelines watching, or stepping off the truck helping?

Due to increased wildfire risk, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a ban on all open burning and has canceled all burning permits statewide effective 6 p.m. Saturday, March 28 until further notice.

Under North Carolina law, the ban prohibits all open burning in the affected counties, regardless of whether a permit was previously issued. The issuance of any new permits has also been suspended until the ban is lifted. Anyone violating the burn ban faces a $100 fine plus $183 court costs. Any person responsible for setting a fire may be liable for any expenses related to extinguishing the fire.

The burn ban does not apply to fires started within 100 feet of an occupied dwelling. The local fire marshal has authority to issue a burn ban within those 100 feet.
