Colington Volunteer Fire Department

Colington Volunteer Fire Department This was quite a broad geographical area to cover, so in 1971, a station was built to meet the needs of the growing number of residents in Colington.

The Mission of the Colington Volunteer Fire Department is to improve the quality of life for residents and visitors to the Colington community through the efficient delivery of fire protection, basic medical and life safety services. Originally, Colington Fire Department was a district of the Kitty Hawk Volunteer Fire Department, which at that time responded to fires in the villages of Duck, South

ern Shores, Kitty Hawk and Colington. In 1981, due to tremendous growth in the community, the Colington Volunteer Fire Department was formed and a state charter was granted in 1982. Since that time, what was once a small, dedicated group of individuals with minimal equipment is now a combination Fire Rescue agency employing 9 full time staff and over 25 volunteers with modern apparatus and equipment. A Board of Directors protects the financial interests of the department, in cooperation with Dare County. The CVFD is quite busy. Our base is made up of a strong group of volunteer and career personnel protecting the most populated unincorporated area in the county. As of the 2014 census, Colington had a population of 4,179 residents. While we are primarily supported by a fire tax district, we also obtain additional funding through fundraisers and weekly BINGO. Bingo is held every Wednesday. Doors open at 5:30 and play begins at 6:30 so come out and support us!

We are supported by an awesome community! Despite the soggy weather, we served roughly 450 BBQ dinners, Ms Nora Hagen Harper bake sale was phenomenal and folks bought T-shirts too.

Thanks to everyone that made today a success, especially our hardworking department members.
