Tryon Fire Department

Yesterday, the Tryon Fire Department had the opportunity to visit with students at Tryon Elementary School as part of Fire Prevention Month. Chief Connell, Lieutenant Coley, and Firefighters McMurray and Allen spent time discussing the importance of fire safety at home, including having a family emergency plan and a designated meeting place in the event of a fire.

The students were engaged throughout the presentation, asking thoughtful questions and sharing their own experiences and stories. Opportunities like these are an important part of the Fire Department's commitment to our community. By connecting with residents at a young age, our firefighters help build awareness, preparedness, and safer homes for everyone.

The Tryon Fire Department is proud to be visible, accessible, and actively involved in educating and serving our community.

The Tryon Fire Department has temporarily run out of smoke detectors. Residents who have purchased their own smoke detectors may still request assistance with installation. Our firefighters are available to install them and help ensure they are properly located throughout your home.

We will notify the community through social media when new smoke detectors are available and installation appointments can be scheduled.

From Our Crew to Our Community — Way to Go, Readers!

We had an absolute blast kicking off the morning with some of Tryon’s brightest young readers! Today, we had the honor of giving a special ride to school to students who went above and beyond — reading the most books and keeping track of their reading logs.

Their hard work, curiosity, and love of reading truly fired us up! These students showed that dedication pays off, and we’re proud to celebrate their achievement in such a fun way.

Thank you for letting us be part of your big day — and keep turning those pages!

At Tryon Fire Department, we’re always excited to support our community and help make learning an adventure!
