Our crew was at NC Wesleyan University today for Rock the Mount. What a great event to connect with our college students and remind them of fire safety and career opportunities with us.

Part of our recruitment team hit the road today to attend a career fair at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. It was a great day interacting with possible new recruits.

Creating an emergency supply kit with your family is a great way to prepare for a disaster. Children often feel more secure knowing there is a plan in an emergency. Build your emergency supply kit here: nfpa.social/m4G450PAvfb

This has been a long time coming for our department. Today we were formally recognized as a Heavy Rescue, High Angle Rescue, Confined Space Rescue, and Water-Swiftwater Provider by the NC Association of Rescue and E.M.S., Inc. It is indeed an honor for us and our citizens.

RMFD’s Swift Water Emergency Response Team (SERT), consisting of 16 personnel, was deployed to Bladen County to stage and assist with potential damages from Hurricane Idalia.  They were deployed by North Carolina Emergency Management as a Type 1 team.

Members of our Swiftwater Emergency Response Team (SERT) provide basic swiftwater rescue training to the North Carolina National Guard members today as they prepare to work alongside them to protect the citizens of local communities down east.

Members of the RMFD FIT, RMPD and NCSBI attended a class yesterday on explosives and post-blast investigation taught by the NCSBI Bomb Squad. The classroom portion of the training was held and later in the afternoon there was a demonstration and a scenario.

Heavy rainfall and flooding are expected this week. Have a plan in place to ensure your safety!

Tropical Storm Debby will likely weaken to a tropical depression by the time it moves over central North Carolina, but the primary threat locally will not be the wind, it will be the RAIN. A flood watch has been issued for several counties and it may be expanded later.

Tropical Storm Debby is expected to bring heavy rainfall and flooding. Please prepare before the storm.
