Engineer Bob Carroll answered his final call, leaving behind a legacy of bravery and service. To those he rescued, he was a hero; to his fellow firefighters, he was a brother; and to his family, he was a pillar of strength. May the sirens fall silent and the bells ring out in honor of a life well-lived in the service of others.
Bob was a man who defined what it meant to serve. With his signature white beard he was a reassuring sight to everyone in West Carter County. Whether he was maintaining the engines or mentoring the next generation of recruits, Bob did everything with integrity. He didn't just wear the uniform; he lived the values of the fire service every single day. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family

Today, members of the West Carter County Volunteer Fire Department had the honor of delivering three $250 gift cards to our local schools: Happy Valley High, Middle, and Elementary. Each school will select a family in need to receive a card to help brighten their holiday season.
​These donations were made possible by our recent BBQ fundraiser. We want to extend a massive thank you to Don Brady with Black Scorpion BBQ, who generously donated all the food and covered the entire cost of the event. Because of his support, every penny raised went directly back to our community.
​Thank you to everyone who supported the fundraiser!
