The Charlotte Fire Department is operating out of 41 fire stations, including 2 stations at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. Their Fire Chief, Jon B. Hannan, oversees a total of 1,164 personnel, of that 1,044 being firefighters.

Brief history

The census of 1850, the first to enumerate the residents of Charlotte separately from Mecklenburg County, showed the population to be 1,065. By then, Charlotte covered an area of 1.68 square miles (4.4 km2) and was certainly large enough that bucket brigades were inadequate for fire protection.

The first mention of fire services in the City records occurs in 1845, when the Board of aldermen approved payment for repair of a fire engine.

The volunteers would assemble at the Square to find out where the fire was, then run to its location. The first arriving firemen would go to the station at Trade and College for the engine and then run to the fire. The original volunteers called themselves the Hornets.

The City's first offices were located in a building at North Tryon and East Sixth. Quarters for two fire companies were provided. The Neptune's had the Sixth Street side, and the Independence hook and Ladder had the Tryon Street side. Originally, the hook and ladder truck was too long for the building and had to be housed outside.

Ladder Companies

  • There are 15 ladder companies in Charlotte. They all are Spartan/Smeal Aerial, years models ranging from 2001 to 2005 (except for Ladder 40). Ladder 40 is a 2010. They all are quints. What makes it a quint are the 5 tasks: pump, aerial device, ground ladders, hose lines and a water tank. They all carry 370 US gallons (1,400 L) of water and 30 US gallons (110 L) of foam concentrate. It also carries 800 feet (240 m) of 5 inch supply line.

Other equipment consist of ropes for high or low angle rescue, cribbing for extrication, EMS supplies, two chain saws for ventilation, a circular saw (K12) to open large holes on metal material and many other equipment.
Rescue 10 covers west Charlotte, But Rescue 3 is much cooler.

Rescue Companies

  • There are two rescue companies, Rescue 3 and Rescue 10. To become a member on the rescue, rigorous training has to be completed. Training classes are USAR, public safety diver (PSD), trench rescue, swiftwater rescue (SRT) and confined space rescue. These rescue personnel are also EMTs. They usually respond to medical calls when either Engine 3 or 10 is out of service. This is done because rescuers need to be available for special calls.
  • They respond to all working fires. These two trucks are the only vehicles in the CFD that carry an SCBA refill cascade station. They also use phoenix rescue tools.
Haz-Mat 2 is at in service training at the academy.
Haz-Mat 3 is also RRT-7.

Haz-Mat Companies

  • Station 13 and 32 personnel are Haz-Mat technicians. To become one they go under the same training as the rescue personnel with the exception of public safety diver. But to add onto that are multiple Hazardous Material classes.
  • There are four haz-mat companies in Charlotte. These companies are operated from either an engine or ladder company. Haz-Mat 1 is cross manned by Engine 13. Basically when there is a haz-mat situation, the crew of Engine 13 swap there gear onto Haz-Mat 1 and proceed to the scene, putting Engine 13 out of service. Haz-Mat 2 is cross manned by Ladder 13. These two trucks cover the north Charlotte and uptown area.
  • Haz-Mat 3 is a vehicle owned by the state. Ladder 32 cross manned the vehicle. It responds as Haz-Mat 3 in South Charlotte at a city level. If there is a state level emergency, it responds as Regional Response Team 7 (RRT-7) The following counties are covered by RRT-7: Alexander, Anson, Cabarrus, Catawba, Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanly, and Union counties.
  • Engine 32. The apparatus is longer and have more compartment space then the average engine apparatus. It is structural response engine that also is equipped with tools and monitoring equipment for hazmat calls.
  • Haz-Mat 5 is not cross manned by a company. This vehicle was stored outside in the back at Station 32, but moved to 36 due to the cold weather and the hot summer heat. This vehicle holds extra equipment for Haz-Mat 3. Its usually called out at the state level, also as RRT-71. Station 36 personnel are not Haz-Mat certified, but do carry a Class-A drivers license.

ARFF Airport Companies

  • Fire Station 17 is located at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport at runway 36R-18L. The facility is owned by the City of Charlotte, Aviation Department but the CFD firefighters operate Blazes 1, 2, 5, and 7 on a daily basis. Battalion 8 and Engine 17 are also housed at Station 17. All personnel are ARFF certified. Blazes 1, 2, 5, 7, 41 and 45 are owned by the City of Charlotte. Blazes 4, 42, 43, 46, 18, and Rescue 5 are owned by the North Carolina Air National Guard (NCANG).

Tankers

Tanker 35 can act as an engine.

Water Tankers

  • The tankers are specially designed as a regular engine apparatus. The only difference is that it longer, it holds a drop tank, it has the ability for the driver to deliver water with out leaving the cabin and other features. There are six tankers spreading around Charlotte. They each have a 1500 gpm Waterous water pump, carry 1,000 US gallons (3,800 L) of water and 300 US gallons (1,100 L) of foam concentrate.
  • The idea of ordering these tankers was back in 2005. In the past if the city was overrun with calls (ex. multiple flood locations with people trapped, multiple box alarms in the city) a reserve engine would drive to logistics, gear up the truck, put four operation personnel on board and start it as a temporary engine company. Well the department decided to make trucks ready to go if ever needed, plus the older tankers were soon needed to be swapped out with new rigs.
  • In 2006 they started with two trucks, 71 and 72. 71 was at Station 9, 72 at Station 28. In 2007, 73 went to Station 21 and 74 at Station 35. The 70s numbers were used because if a tanker is needed in Charlotte for water or foam support, it responds as (ex. Tanker 71). If the truck is responding to calls with four personnel on board in Charlotte, its (ex. Engine 74). But if a fire department in another county is calling for assistance, the closest truck would respond as (ex. Engine 73). The numbers changed in early 2009, placing a "Tanker" decal and the stations number. Tanker 37 was delivered in early 2009, it never had the number 75. Tanker 40 went into service September 2010.
  • From January 10-14, 2011 a snow storm hit the Charlotte area, causing the call volume to increase. Because of this the extra manpower from the front line companies were moved to the tankers. Five of the six tankers went into service as engine companies. Normally if a move up is needed at a station, a front line apparatus would do that. But in this event the Engine 70's companines did the move ups.
    • Tanker 9 -> Engine 71. The apparatus was moved to Fire Station 39. Fire Station 9 do not have the room to hold eight personnel.
    • Tanker 28 -> Engine 72
    • Tanker 21 -> Engine 73
    • Tanker 35 -> Engine 74
    • Tanker 37 -> Engine 75
    • Tanker 40 -> Engine 76. The apparatus was changed to E-76 but it was not staffed with personnel during the storm.
Foam 1 only carries foam.

Foam Tanker

  • This special tanker (Foam 1) is used for only foam operations. It is a 2003 International/Central States Tanker. It went into service August 2009. It carries 1,300 US gallons (4,900 L) of foam concentrate in its booster tank. It has a 1250 GPM (gallons per minute) pump, a Williams foam system which is also on all CFD fire trucks, a drop tank and an aerial light system for night operations. It has a crosslay hose bed, but its currently not in use. The only hose line is the 1,200 feet (370 m) of 5" supply line. This apparatus is currently located at Fire Station 25. This unit does not carry water.
  • Originally this apparatus started service as Tanker 12 at Fire Station 12. It replaced an old aging tanker. The 2003 model carried a 1,000-US-gallon (3,800 L) water booster tank, 300 US gallons (1,100 L) of foam concentrate, an in-service crosslay hose bed and other basic tanker equipment. At the beginning of Fiscal Year 2008 (July 2007) the tanker moved to the newly built Fire Station 37. When the current Spartan tanker (Tanker 37) entered service, the International tanker went to a factory for a change of booster tanks. The two booster tanks were replaced with one 1,300-US-gallon (4,900 L) booster tank. The CFD wanted to put the apparatus at Fire Station 21, since its so close to Tank Town, but the two bay station is full with an engine and a tanker. In order to keep it close by, Brush 25 was moved to Fire Station 33 becoming Brush 33. Foam 1 moved into Fire Station 25. The apparatus is available within the city for any foam operation.
Brush trucks are designed to handle rough terrain.

Brush Trucks

  • There are five brush trucks in Charlotte. Brushes 5, 20 and 31 are 1998 Ford F-350 pick-ups. Brush 31 was at Station 28, but moved to 31 to make room for Tanker 28. Brush 33 is a 2001 Chevy 2500 Pick-Up. Brush 19 was a Ford, but moved to Station 29. After its accident a 2005 Chevy 3500 Pick-Up was delivered.
  • They all carry about 100 US gallons (380 L) of water, water pump, EMS gear, brush fire tools such as shovels and rakes. Obviously they carry extinguishers. There also used in woods to assist with a missing person. Also when there is a multiple fire box alarm with a wooded area in danger, about three brush units would start as a brush group, led by a Battalion Chief. There task is to prevent trees, shrubs and anything of that nature to not ignite.
USAR 1 responds to state and federal level emergencies.

USAR-NCTF-3

  • The USAR team in Charlotte are trained for any particular task. Urban Search and Rescue, North Carolina Task Force 3 (USAR-NCTF-3) is the name for the team based in Charlotte, NC. This team is one of eleven teams in the NC state. There are six teams: Task Force Blue 1, Blue 2, Red 1, Red 2, White 1, and White 2. Each team has thirty members and everyone is certified in USAR. Each member has a specialty in some kind of field. Some are trained in building collapse, trench rescue, natural disasters and even weapons of mass destruction. Most members are from Rescue or Haz-Mat. To become a member the USAR training is a ten-day straight training process. It is located at a USAR training grounds in North Carolina, at the CFD training academy.
  • The USAR team have a good amount of vehicles ready for deployment. USAR 1 and USAR 2 is stored at Station 11. Station 11 members are USAR certified. USAR 3, 4, and 5 are 18 wheeler tractor trailer trucks that stores many equipment. USAR 6 has a tractor with a flat-bed like that can carry equipment (ex. bulldozer). These trucks are stored at a small warehouse facility on yorkmont rd. There are also a crane and a lull, retired from the U.S. military, an articulating loader, and a back hoe. These vehicles are stored at the academy.
  • USAR 1 responds to emergencies in Charlotte. USAR 2 responds to emergencies out of the county that requires an extended amount of days.
  • Currently USAR 2 is not in service, its equipment went to USAR 4.
Dive 38 is located at Station 38.

Dive Team

  • Within Charlotte there are certified divers located at Stations 3, 10 and 38. To become a diver a class called "Public Safety Diver" (PSD) is run for thirteen days. Most of the calls that the team responds to are body recoveries. If a diver is ever needed, one of the Rescue companies would respond to the call with their Dive Truck. If more divers are ever needed, the other Rescue will be en-route or Engine 38 would respond. The department would most likely send E-38, so the second rescue can be available for a special call. When on scene they would gear up in their dry suits, put on a SCUBA tank, attach a rope to themselves with the other side tied off to the members on shore. The diver would then enter the water and sweep the area, looking for a vehicle or a person (matters what the situation calls for).
  • Dive 3 is a Chevy pick-up with SCUBA tanks, wet and dry gear with other dive team equipment. Dive 10 is a what looks like a UPS delivery van. It has the same gear as Dive 3, but holds more. Dive 38 is currently in Boathouse 38. This is a rescue boat, not to be confused with a fireboat. The boat can respond to other counties in assisting with a body recovery. The house is located in the Lake Wylie area, in southwest Charlotte.
Fire Boat 38 can pump 3500gpm of water.

Future

Charlotte Fire Chief, Jon Hannan, continues preparation for the future growth of the City of Charlotte.

  • Under construction on Mecklenburg County’s eastside, Station 42 has an estimated completion date of December, 2011, and will be the new home for Battalion 4. Possible sites for future fire stations are in northwestern Mecklenburg County around Beatties Ford Road and Miranda Road and an area west of Charlotte-Douglas Airport.
  • In the fall of 2010, began the planning for a new Charlotte Fire Department Headquarters. This two-story building will be located just north of center city. The CFD Command Staff and Administration will operate from the new quarters with the potential for other key divisions to join.
