Fire Prevention

Fire safety education is an integral part of the fire service.  It is very important that children and adults learn about the causes of fire, how to prevent fires, and what to do if a fire occurs.

The West Iredell Volunteer Fire Department, in conjunction with the Iredell County Fire Marshal's Office, holds many fire safety events and classes throughout the year at local elementary schools, day cares, and churches. And we offer tours of our station and equipment for our local community. Our department is also able to provide free smoke detectors to those who are financially or physically unable to purchase and install one. 

If you or someone you know needs a smoke detector, even if they are not in the West Iredell Fire District, please contact us immediately so we can make the appropriate arrangements.

For more information on official fire prevention programs, please contact the Iredell County Fire Marshal's Office at (704) 878-3035.  If you would like to set up a tour or show-n-tell, please contact Chief Jerry Houston at West Iredell Fire Station 1 at (704) 872-3947.
