From Chesterfield Fire Rescue Social Media Post
Chesterfield Fire Rescue, along with the NC OSFM are proud to announce the award of a 2026 North Carolina Volunteer Fire Grant Fund grant. This Grant is a 50/50 award, and the state will provide $38,780.75 towards the purchase of new equipment, which Chesterfield Fire Rescue must match. Our grant funds will be used to purchase new nozzles, 2 new SCBA Airpack’s, 25 lengths of new LDH supply hose, a new turnout gear washer, a Turnout Gear dryer, and more.
We are extremely thankful for the support of NC State Fire Marshal Brian Taylor and all of the State Office of the Fire Marshal’s staff, as without these grants the cost of this equipment might be impossible to afford for a small volunteer department.
We are also grateful to the continued support of the Burke County Commissioners and the Burke County Government. But most of all, we are grateful for the support we have received from our Chesterfield Community. Without your support, we could not keep the doors open. Important growth and changes are coming soon to our department, and this equipment is an important part of that.
We encourage any community members interested in helping the fire department as a volunteer, an auxiliary member, or even an advisory role to join us any Tuesday evening at 7 pm to learn more.
