As we continue to progress and grow at the Northern Wake Fire Department, we love taking a moment to reflect on our rich history! Recently, we stumbled upon two incredible pieces of our past from the Bay Leaf Fire Department days: a pair of blue coveralls and a uniform shirt dating back to the 1980s. These treasures were found on Facebook Marketplace, purchased by a kind individual at an estate sale about five years ago. We're thrilled to welcome them back home where they belong! The blue coveralls will be proudly displayed at Fire House #2, while the blue uniform shirt will find its place at Fire House #4.

Last week, our dedicated team sent 5 brave members to Polk County to support the wildfires. A huge shoutout to Captain Corey Bolick, LT. Mark Hill, Master FF Cameron Callihan, FF Nathan Koellhoffer, and FF Micheal Travers.They worked the night operational period from 8 PM to 8 AM, tirelessly protecting property, creating fire breaks, and providing essential assistance to the firefighting efforts.They were demobilized on Sunday, 3/30/2025, as much-needed rain was in the forecast. We couldn't be prouder of their commitment to our community and the entire state of North Carolina. 💙🇺🇸If you’re intrested in being a part of out organization click here: northernwakefire.org/join-us/#CommunityHeroes #WildfireSupport #NorthernWakeFire #NCStrong #FirefighterAppreciation ...
