Fire Chief Winston Salomon would like to inform the general public the offices of the fire department, located at Backstreet 56, are moving into the new fire station at Jackal Road 5, Cay Hill (behind the hospital). The office in Backstreet will be closed as of Monday June 8, 2009. The new office will be open to the public as of Monday June 15, 2009. The public is informed that during the week of June 8 – 12 the department will not be able to serve the public as usual, which is unfortunately unavoidable during the moving process.

The public is informed emergency calls to the fire department should always be directed to emergency number 919. The regular office telephone numbers will be moved to the new building during the week of June 8 – 12. During the move the department can be reached for urgent matters on telephone numbers 543-1316 and 543-1318.

Future visitors of the new building in Cay Hill should take note the public entrance is located in the back of the new facility (on the hillside). The area beyond the gate is off limits for non staff members. Public parking is available in front of the property and one can proceed via a concrete walkway to the public entrance. Directional signs will be placed in the near future.

The fire department regrets the unavoidable interruption of the regular service, but is looking forward to serving the public from its brand new facility.
