Cooksville Volunteer Fire Department Cooksville Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1967 when community members decided a fire department closer to their residence was needed.

Cooksville Volunteer Fire Department serves the community in the South Western portion of Catawba County. We are awarded an ISO rating of 5/9S and continue work to maintain and improve the rating. We operate with a roster of volunteers, supported by an Auxiliary, and have a Junior Firefighter program. We are currently the only fully volunteer Fire Department remaining in Catawba County. The Department is led by officers, including a Chief, Assistant Chief, Captain, 2 Lieutenants, a Safety Officer with assistance from a Human Resource Officer, Engineer and Traffic Officer. Cooksville Volunteer Fire Department is diverse in the calls we run. Currently we handle all Fire related calls in our district. We also assist and handle incidents including. Cardiac arrest, Hazardous Materials, Motor Vehicle Accidents, and many other situations that we may be called to. The Department responds with the following Apparatus: Engine-141, Engine-142, Tanker-143, Brush-144, Engine-145, Car-146, Truck-147, Trailer 1, and a Drone.

CVFD was dispatched to assist Propst Crossroads FD with a structure fire last night.

Engines 141, 142, 145, QRV 148, and Drone 1 responded to the scene.

CVFD members supported operations with members working interior operations, water supply and traffic control.

E-142 deployed 800’ of supply line, with E-145 and141 supporting Mountain View’s tender. Drone 1 was deployed to obtain operational overview while QRV-148 controlled traffic at the rural roadway.

This was the second mutual aid structure fire of the day with units deploying to Burke county earlier in the day to support George Hildebran FD at a chicken house fire.

We did a thing! 😳👀
Over the years the paint has chipped a little on the front of Engine 145. Years ago a tree heavily damaged the cab. It was repaired.

Now, almost 30 years later small areas of paint chips are showing. What to do? 👀

We could repaint. Expensive. We could cover and protect and increase visibility- no cost due to a material donation. It’s covered.

CVFD wants to thank all our guests that came and supported our Chicken Pie Dinner on Sunday.

While we don’t know everyone that came, we saw members from our mutual aid Fire Departments, local churches, and businesses.

Our Auxiliary reported that they completely sold out in less than 2 hours.

We hope everyone enjoyed their meal. Your support helps our auxiliary assist the firefighters and helps supplement our operations.
