April 2025 incident log 🚨

This month saw a total of 35 calls including a 1st alarm brush fire in town and multiple mutual aid requests. Twice this month we got hit with simultaneous medical calls requiring a Hampstead Ambulance to respond mutual aid. In the very near future we will receive our 2nd ambulance allowing us to capture these simultaneous medical aid requests. The 2nd ambulance is being purchased at $0 cost to the taxpayers thanks to the Danville Fire Association! As always thank you to our phenomenal staff for their continued hard work and dedication!
