Investing in the Safety & Welfare of Our Citizens

Whenever the subject of a fire department arises, interest invariably turns to the fire trucks and other equipment found within the department.

Perhaps this is so because it is the trucks that garner so much attention around town, whether just riding through the streets or responding with lights and sirens to an emergency call.

While on the surface it may seem like such abiding interest in the trucks is a superficial thing, that is by no means the case. Carrboro's fire trucks represent a significant financial investment for the town, and it is right that the citizens, as well as the members of the department, take tremendous pride in them. They are your trucks, and they represent the community's investment in the safety and welfare of its citizens.

Everyone in town, both young and less young, is welcome to come by and look at the trucks in person. So feel free to drop in and say hello. However, if you are unable to visit, we hope you take a few minutes to browse the pictures and information below about the equipment that stands at the ready 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to respond to any call for help from the citizens of Carrboro and Orange County.
