🚒 Did you know you don’t have to be a firefighter to be part of the fire department? 👀

That’s right! You don’t have to run into burning buildings to make a difference! 😂🔥

Our community needs volunteers of all kinds to help keep Cumberland Head safe. Whether you’re good with computers, taking pictures, posting on social media, organizing events, helping with fundraising, cooking meals, directing traffic, or lending a hand wherever needed, there’s a place for YOU! ❤️💙

And guess what? You don’t have to give up your whole life to volunteer! Even if you can only spare a couple of hours a week, we would gladly take your help! Every little bit counts, and every helping hand makes a difference. 🙌

It takes more than firefighters to keep a fire department running. It takes a whole team of people who care about their neighbors and want to make a difference.

You don’t need special skills or experience to get started — just a willingness to help and a little community spirit!

🚒 Come be part of something bigger than yourself! Stop by the Cumberland Head Fire Department on Mondays at 6 PM to learn more and pick up an application. 18+ and over please! Please help us share this to spread the word out!

🚒🔥 What a fun day at Cumberland Head Fire Department! 🔥🚒

We had a great time at the station today welcoming the Girl Scouts for a fun and educational day! ❤️

The girls participated in our Fire Safety Obstacle Course and learned important safety tips, fire prevention techniques, and ways to stay safe in an emergency. 🧯🚨

A huge THANK YOU to the Girl Scouts for coming out to visit us today! We loved having you at the station and hope you had just as much fun as we did!

We would also like to give a special THANK YOU to our amazing volunteer firefighters for hosting this event, helping put everything together, and taking the time to teach our community’s youth about fire safety and prevention. Your dedication and willingness to give back to our community truly make a difference! ❤️👏

At Cumberland Head Fire Department, we believe education is an important part of keeping our community safe, and we are proud to help teach the next generation!

🚨 Cumberland Head Fire Department – MVA Response 🚨

Yesterday at approximately 3:00 PM, members of the Cumberland Head Fire Department and District 3 fire department were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident involving a tractor-trailer.

Our crew worked for countless hours alongside several other agencies and emergency responders to safely and efficiently remove the semi from the ditch. Through teamwork, communication, and dedication, the truck was successfully removed at approximately 11:30 PM, and the roadways were cleared and reopened.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who assisted throughout this incident. We are grateful for all of the agencies,District 3 fire departments, responders, tow operators, law enforcement, and everyone else who worked together to get the job done safely.

Most importantly, we want to recognize our volunteer firefighters who continue to give their time, energy, and countless hours to serve and protect our community. Your dedication truly makes a difference. ❤️‍🔥🚒

⚠️ A reminder to everyone on the road: When you see flashing red emergency lights ahead, SLOW DOWN and BE CAUTIOUS. Give emergency responders room to work and remember that they are often working just feet away from moving traffic.

Please help us keep our firefighters, emergency responders, and fellow drivers safe.

Thank you to everyone involved, and thank you to our community for supporting your volunteer fire department! 🚒❤️‍🔥

Today we went to an amazing event put on by the ARC. Guns and hoses was a fun time where we got to show off our hovercraft and new rescue boat. A few of our members joined in on the demonstrations of a live burn and cutting up a car to demonstrate our tools. Big thank you to the ARC for the invite.
