Feeling grateful today. Our department had the pleasure of paying it forward by donating surplus turnout gear and pagers to Programa Mayday México. 🙏🚒🇲🇽 Just as others have helped us in the past, we want to support those in need now. Paying forward resources not only strengthens international partnerships but also enhances firefighter safety where it’s needed most.

Big thanks to Efrain Gerardo for the generous tokens of appreciation from their program. 🤝

If your organization has surplus equipment, consider connecting with vetted programs to extend its lifecycle and impact.

Strong teams. Safer county. 💪🚒🚑 Over the last few weeks, our department, along with agencies across Davie County came together for a Machinery & Ag Refresher Class— 🚜 training side-by-side, sharing equipment and knowledge that matter when seconds count. An important investment in operational readiness, interagency familiarity with equipment, and relationship-building.

Huge thanks to: • The Grubb & Crotts families for hosting at their farms 🙏

• County Line Fire Department for aerial drone footage 📸
• Davie County Emergency Services & Medical Director Dr. Weekley for on-location medical support & vital lessons on compartment/crush syndrome 🩺
• Advance Fire Department Mocksville Fire Department Davie County Rescue Squad for providing aerial & rescue assets
•Cornatzer-Dulin Volunteer Fire Department for the meals 🍽️
• Every instructor and crew member for a seamless, professional event. Cooleemee Fire Department

Teamwork in action. 👏

Grateful to announce a meaningful community partnership: ❤️ ✨Davie County Government Board of Commissioners donated a surplus vehicle to our department, enabling more efficient daily operations and freeing frontline apparatus to respond to emergencies. Thanks to Philcar Automotive & Tire 🚒for conducting the annual inspection and making necessary repairs to ensure the vehicle is street-safe, and to Grants Carwash-Ministry for professional detailing🙏. In an environment of limited funding, thoughtful donations and local partnerships extend our operational capacity and demonstrate strong community support. A few before and after pictures to share the amazing work these companies put in to get the vehicle on the road. Blessings and prayers included for free.

Ever seen teamwork in action? 🚨 Last night we teamed up with Davie County Fire Marshal Office/Emergency Management, Davie County Rescue Squad Davie County Emergency Services & Crotts Farm 🚜for hands-on grain-bin rescue training. Crews ran realistic scenarios rescuing a patient trapped in a grain bin using the Great Wall of Rescue tool — skills, trust, and teamwork on full display. 💪🔥👩‍🚒

Huge thanks to our partners for a safe, valuable night of training.

Shout-out time! 🙌 A huge thank you to Blackman's Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department (Johnston County, NC) for generously donating equipment they no longer used. 🚒 Chief Parker is an amazing friend who always stops by when he’s in the area — we greatly appreciate you! The fire service is full of people willing to share resources across counties, states, and even countries. Emergency equipment is not cheap, and acts like this make a real difference.🔥👨‍🚒
