Spencer Fire Department

Do you want to work for an organization that truly cares about its people?

A department that believes training should prepare you for the real world, not simply check a box for an inspection?

A team that is unapologetic about high standards because we understand what is at stake. In this profession, performance is not optional. It can be the difference between life and death for our citizens, our crew, and ourselves.

We are looking for people who want to train hard, work with purpose, and be part of something bigger than themselves.

If you are ready to be challenged, supported, and held to a standard that matters, apply today and join our team.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of attending the retirement reception for one of our own, Deputy Chief Smith. Chief Smith served the City of Salisbury and its citizens honorably for 30 years.

🔥Burn Ban Remains in Effect: Rowan County🔥

Rowan County’s burn ban REMAINS in place until further notice, in conjunction with the North Carolina Forest Service. This is a unified decision between both authorities.

Even though many other counties across the state have lifted their bans, Rowan County HAS NOT. We are still seeing conditions and fire activity that justify keeping this in place.

To be clear:
* No outdoor burning is allowed
* The only exception is food preparation on a safety-certified grill

This applies everywhere:

* Within 100 feet of a structure (County Fire Marshal’s Office)
* Beyond 100 feet (N.C. Forest Service)

There’s no gray area right now—if it’s not a grill for cooking, it’s not allowed.

We don’t take keeping this in place lightly, but we’re making decisions based on what we’re seeing here locally—not what other counties are doing.

We’ll update you as soon as conditions improve. Until then, we need everyone’s cooperation.
