💥Fire Camp 2026 is officially a wrap!

From June 1-5, 29 young men and women spent the week learning, training, and getting a closer look at what it takes to serve in public safety.

This year’s theme was IMPACT, with a simple message:

Leave everything better than you found it. Your legacy starts now.

The campers were also recognized at the City Council meeting on Monday, June 23, for their hard work and participation.

We are proud of these campers for showing up, working hard, and making the most of the week.

And if you watch this wrap-up video and think, “That looks like fun. I sure wish I could do that,” good news: we have a version for adults.

This fall, we will offer the Watauga Public Safety Academy, and the Watauga Fire Department will host its first annual Open House on October 3. Keep an eye out for more details coming soon.

Great job, Fire Camp 2026!

☀ Hello, Summer! ☀

Summer has officially arrived, bringing longer days, warmer weather, and plenty of opportunities to make memories with family and friends.

Whether you're heading to the pool, firing up the grill, traveling, or enjoying time outdoors, remember to keep safety in mind:

🌊 Never leave children unattended near water
🔥 Keep grills away from structures and combustible materials
💦 Stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat
🚒 Check smoke alarms and practice fire safety at home
🐾 Walk pets during cooler morning or evening hours and be mindful of hot pavement

From all of us at Watauga Fire Department, we wish you, your family, and your furry friends a fun, safe, and memorable summer!

A huge thank you to Surepoint Emergency Center for dropping off a goody bowl for our A-Shift crew. 🍬🍫 Small gestures like these go a long way in boosting morale and reminding our firefighters how much they are appreciated.

While we’re sharing some good news, we’d also like to take this opportunity to introduce one of five of our newest firefighters, Ryan Reagan 🚒

Reagan joins the Watauga Fire Department with a passion for serving others and a commitment to our community. Please join us in giving him a warm welcome to the WFD family. We are excited to have him on our team and look forward to the contributions he will make.

🥳🔥🎆 HAPPY 67TH BIRTHDAY, WATAUGA FIRE DEPARTMENT! 🥳🔥🎆
Established June 10, 1959

Today, we celebrate 67 years of proud service, dedication, and community protection with members from the Volunteer Department and/or Department of Public Safety days.

The roots of our department trace back to December 1958, when members of the community came together to raise funds and support the creation of a volunteer fire department. Just six months later, on June 10, 1959, the Watauga Volunteer Fire Department was officially organized.

From a handful of devoted individuals to a modern, professional department— our mission has remained the same:

"Protecting with Purpose; Serving with PRIDE."
👨🏻‍🚒Professionalism
🤝Respect
🛡️Integrity
🚒Dedication
🥇Excellence

We are proud of our history and grateful for the contributions of those who helped build and serve the Watauga Fire Department throughout the years.

On this 67th Birthday, we HONOR those who laid the foundation and those who continue to serve with courage and compassion every day. Here's to our legacy—and the future we're building together.
