Today, members of the Haywood County Fire Department and members of the Ford team came together for a traditional 9/11 Memorial Service to honor the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost on that tragic day. We also honor the firefighters, police officers, EMS personnel, military members, and civilians who lost their lives in the aftermath, as well as those who continue to suffer the lasting effects of the events of 9/11.

As firefighters and first responders, we understand the meaning of sacrifice, courage, duty, and service. The events of September 11 changed our nation and forever changed the fire service.

We pause today to remember the fallen, honor the heroes, support the families who continue to carry their loss, and remind future generations of the price that was paid.

25 years later, we remember.
We honor.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Haywood County Fire Department was thrilled to be a part of the Haywood County Schools Back-to-School Bash held at Haywood High School on Thursday, July 30, 2026!

Our firefighters enjoyed meeting students, parents, and community members as we handed out fire helmets, stickers, and keychains to the young people of Haywood County. We appreciate everyone who stopped by our booth to learn more about fire safety and the services we provide.

We were also excited to have several families sign up for our FREE Smoke Detector Installation Program and receive Carbon Monoxide Detectors for gas-heated homes. Working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors save lives by providing early warning during emergencies.

If your home needs smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors, please contact Haywood County Fire Department. Our personnel will be happy to assist in making your home safer for you and your family.

Thank you to Haywood County Schools for hosting another outstanding event, and thank you to everyone who came out to support our students as they prepare for a successful school year!

Want to reduce the risk of a lithium-ion battery home fire? Once you've finished charging a device, unplug it!

While lithium-ion batteries power many of the electronic devices that provide convenience and connectivity to our everyday lives, lithium-ion batteries also pose fire risks that can have potentially devastating consequences for home and property owners. Lithium-ion batteries store a lot of energy in a small amount of space.

When that energy is released in an uncontrolled manner, the battery generates heat, which can turn certain internal battery components into flammable and toxic gases.

In the event of a lithium-ion battery fire, homeowners should immediately evacuate their residences in order to ensure their safety. Once you and any family members are in a safe location, immediately call 9-1-1and inform emergency responders about the fire.
