Since 1972 the core values of professional conduct, tradition, brotherhood and the love of God, family and country have been the influence of nearly sixty members. Sherrills Ford – Terrell Fire & Rescue exists to serve the resident’s of the district with dedication to saving lives, protecting property and respecting natural resources.
Responding to calls for
nearly 14,000 residents in an area of over 45 square miles with nearly
100 miles of shoreline, this department relies heavily on volunteers and
paid staff.
With the growth that has been seen recently
and projected in southeast Catawba County, call volume will only
increase.
In response, the department has seen fit to
hire more paid staff and build new buildings.
Starting July 1st
2008, SFTFR began providing new coverage to residents living off of
Burris Road, and additional areas off of Slanting Bridge Road, Grassy
Creek, NC HWY 150 and NC HWY 16.
For the last 50 years, these areas enjoyed
the coverage provided by Denver Fire Department, but now that is our
responsibility.
In taking this responsibility, SFTFR has
hired 6 new full time engineers, purchased 2 new Pierce Custom PUCs and
started building a new facility.
(Currently, residents off of Burris Road are
covered by a temporary station manned 24 hrs per day.)
We currently staff 4 bases with a full time
engineer 24/7.
