Today’s the day.

For some students, today is the beginning of new friendships.

For all of them…

It’s the beginning of a leadership journey.

We’ll be ready to welcome you tonight.

Come out and see us on Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 11 AM–2 PM for our open house at Puppy Creek Fire Department!

Over the past year, we’ve been working on a new living quarters addition built onto the back of our existing station, and we’re excited to finally open the doors and show the community what we’ve been working on!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of former member James “Humpty” Rodney Lee.

Humpty was truly one of a kind and dedicated many years to serving the citizens of Hoke County. His presence, service, and friendship will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Services will be held Saturday, August 22, at 1:00 PM at Crumpler Funeral Home, 131 Harris Ave., Raeford.

Rest in peace, brother. We’ll take it from here.
