Quick Action to Preserve our Future

We citizens of Wake County had a narrow escape in Summer of 2018 when county employees attempted to push through a plan to shut down our Fairview Fire Station #2. Only because hundreds of you came support our fire station at the August 16 fire commission meeting were we able to make them slow down […]

Be a firefighter!

We Wake County residents strongly support Fairview Fire Department because they are members of our own community, serving their own community. As I’ve talked with my neighbors the past few months while working to save Fairview Fire Station #2, I heard testimonial after testimonial about the excellent response of our firefighters, and how they had […]

Signs of the Times

Hi Wake County friends and neighbors!

Quick Report on the August 16 Fire Commission Meeting

Citizens of the Ten-Ten fire district, served by Fairview Fire Department – you did it. You showed up in force. I estimate at least 350 of you were there. You filled every seat and then lined the walls. That made all the difference in the world. If you hadn’t come out tonight to show your […]

Safety Last: Questions and Answers

From what I have read recently, it looks like Fire Services Director Nick Campasano is willing to sacrifice safety to cut costs. After the July 19 The Fire Commission meeting, the Fire Commission member sent a list of questions to Director Campasano. This document has those questions, with answers from Director Campasano (underlined), answers from […]

Your Emergency Service Will Get Worse

What will happen to residents of Wake County unincorporated areas if the county shuts down Fairview Fire Station #2 and forces us to rely on Garner Station #5?
