Here it is, new #Durham #Rescue 1, a 2024 Sutphen/SVI, placed in service today. Replaced a smaller and older rig that Durham #Fire had been running since R1 was re-activated in 2019. Thanks Captain Carl and his crew for the photo assist. See you on scene! @BullCitysChief

Report from #Raleigh. Construction update. Progress on new #Fire Station 3 on Rock Quarry Road. See project info, @RaleighGov

Mind the Green. Arrived too late for the parade, but not for those leaving the event. Was it considerably shorter this year? Oh well, maybe I’ll drown my sorrows in a shamrock shake. ☘️. #Raleigh #StPats #Shamrock #KissMeImIrish

Here's new #Raleigh #Fire Engine 2. It's one of four 2024 Spartan Metro Star pumpers, 2000/500, that are going into service. The others are E4, E11, E16. They're first Spartans for the city in a double decade. And first 2000 GPM pumpers.

It’s that time of the year again. Happy birthday to #Raleigh #Fire Sta 9 at North Hills. They opened on Feb 14, 1963. Engine 9 was reactivated on that date, along with Tanker 9. Previously, E9 was the second engine at Station 1 from 1953 to 1960.

It's the second Saturday of the month. The #Raleigh #fire #museum will be open today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free. We're located just south of downtown at 105 Keeter Center Drive, at the fire training center. Restrooms are available. Please park on the street.
