Community Service

An important part of the Mission of the Huntersville Fire Department is fire prevention through public education. HFD is committed to providing the highest level of service and professionalism to the residents and visitors of Huntersville and to ensure their safety by providing select services geared towards fire prevention education and awareness.

Each year HFD and the Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal’s Office make visits to the primary and secondary schools within town to provide this education and awareness. During the summer HFD assists the Fire Marshal’s Office and the Huntersville Police Department with the annual Safety Town program for 3 weeks in July. In October of every year (Fire Prevention Month) HFD is very busy visiting schools throughout town. Some additional services that HFD offers on a case by case basis are Fire Truck Visits and Fire Station Tours. Each of these services is outlined below:

HUNTERSVILLE FIRE TRUCK VISIT

Fire trucks are exciting, especially to young children; but they are more than an amusing toy to climb on or a photo backdrop. The Huntersville Fire Department utilizes its on-duty personnel and fire trucks, as a reminder and training tool - that practicing safe habits, applying simple fire prevention techniques and fire awareness can prevent injuries and fires from occurring in the community. For this very reason, and for budgetary constraints, the Huntersville Fire Department shall only provide fire truck visits to public, primary schools at grades three and higher.

We invite / encourage preschools and or daycare facilities to consider visiting us at one of the fire stations where the environment is more controlled and comfortable. Coordinating a station visit and tour is outlined further below.

Whenever HFD accepts an invitation and brings a fire truck on-site, the HFD crew will show and explain the truck as well as the equipment and tools within. They will also teach children and adults basic fire safety tips such as the importance of smoke detectors, the proper use of 911, the importance of having and practicing a fire escape plan, what to do in the event of a fire or emergency and many other safety tips.

If you are interested in having a fire truck come to visit, please send an e-mail request to the following email address: events@huntersvillefd.com at least four weeks in advance (30 to 45 days is preferred) to make a request. You will have to answer some questions related to your request such as: The date and time of your event, total number of participants, age range of the participants and the purpose of your event (i.e. community safety fair, fire prevention education event etc). Your request will then be forwarded to a Chief Officer for approval.

  • Trucks are notavailable for birthday parties, grand openings, sidewalk sales or to support for-profit businesses and events.
  • Due to safety issues, you must have ample space for a Fire Truck to safely park outdoors and leave quickly in the event of an emergency call.

Disclaimer: Please note we make every effort to fulfill your request. Program, Firefighter and truck appearances are limited to within the city limits of Huntersville only. HFD reserves the right to decline or cease program participation at any time. Depending upon availability, safety materials may be distributed by the responding Firefighters. Firefighters may have to leave and/or cease the program at any time in the event of an emergency.

  

BIRTHDAY PARTIES / EVENTS

As mentioned previously and due to our heavy call volume - we do not participate in Birthday parties, nor do we allow parties or events at our fire stations. HOWEVER, there is another option! A local, firefighter owned, business supports events like this and they have an old retired fire truck that they use. It's called the 'Amazi'N Blazi'N Fire Truck' and you can hire them for events - they even make house calls! Check out their Facebook Page.

HUNTERSVILLE FIRE STATION VISITS

All three Huntersville fire stations are staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with paid duty crews. Guests are welcome at any time during day light hours; however, it's preferred that if you're bringing a group that you arrange the visit by contacting  events@huntersvillefd.com and specifying that you intend to visit (see station list below) at least three weeks in advance (30 to 45 days is preferred) to arrange the visit. You will have to answer some questions related to your request such as: The date and time of your event, total number of participants and age range of the participants.

Fire Prevention, Education is a big component of a fire station visit. Expect the crew to show and explain the various fire trucks kept at that particular fire station as well as the equipment and tools within. They will also teach children and adults basic fire safety tips such as the importance of smoke detectors, the proper use of 911, the importance of having and practicing a fire escape plan, what to do in the event of a fire or emergency and many other safety tips. They will also give a brief tour of the station facilities. Visitors are requested to provide an appropriate adult to child ratio to ensure proper span of control. Visitors are reminded that the station is a working, functional fire station and that crews may need to cease the visit at any time to respond to an emergency call.

Disclaimer: Please note we make every effort to fulfill your request. HFD reserves the right to decline or cease program participation at any time. Depending upon availability, safety materials may be distributed by the Firefighters giving the tour. Firefighters may have to leave and/or cease the program at anytime in the event of an emergency.

We’re aware of a fire hydrant broken off at Wynfield Creek Parkway at Presswoods Lane (what kind of craziness happened here?)

We’ve experienced a high call volume & social media posting volume directed at HFD for this. Please understand, although we use and count on the fire hydrants for fires; Charlotte Water actually manages the hydrant system. A simple call to 311 usually fixes it.

We, on your behalf, called and spoke with #CLTwater and they’re now on it (they had no idea).

For now we will mark this hydrant out of service and will formulate a plan B if there’s an emergency. Thank you all! #OneTownOneTeam #Call311

I drove by this earlier and was wondering what happened!!!

Did what it was supposed to do, shear off. Had it been a gusher then they certainly would have known sooner.

Just set the hydrant up next to the chiefs car and write him a ticket for blocking a hydrant. Or take a drive down to the PD 😇

How in the world?

I fix them all the time...Easy

Is that a relative?? Asking for a minion

Andrew Sheeler

Thank you!

Where is Poplar Tent Church Rd?

Poplar Tent between 73 and Harris Rd is a complete nightmare. Two lanes, no shoulders, limited left turn lanes, ditches on both sides, and new housing subdivisions and a giant school going in to compound the existing issues. Meck County, but even more disastrously, Cabarrus County, have done a horrible job of keeping road construction on pace with development. It will only get worse and more dangerous.

Prayers for all involved and no one was seriously hurt. I was stuck in the traffic from Davidson. It was a nightmare. They really need to widen the road with traffic due to development that way.

wow that’s quite the oil slick!

Prayers for no injuries

Prayers for everyone involved

Drew Polly

Prayers that no one was hurt 🙏

Big delays.

Today Deputy Chief Ben Reagan and Tanker 1 assisted Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue with the NC Driver Operator Water Supply they’re currently hosting.

Drafting and Rural water supply / water haul were the key points of todays class. As a practical assessment requirement each student had to successfully pull and maintain draft, successfully set up and operate the fill site engine, as well as operate the tankers at both the fill and dump sites.

Retired Huntersville Deputy Chief Gary Reagan was the instructor.

Departments and equipment working together were as follows:
Huntersville FD -Tanker 1
Odell FD - Tanker 2
Cornelius FD Engine 5
