The West Yadkin Volunteer Fire Department is a combination volunteer and part-time paid fire department. The members of West Yadkin hold various certifications including NC Firefighter I, NC Firefighter II, NC Rescue Technician / Technical Rescuer, NC Driver Operator - Pumps, NC Driver Operator - Aerial, NC RIT, NC Fire Officer, NC Fire & Rescue Instructors, Emergency Vehicle Driver (EVD), NC Wildland Fire Suppression, NC Haz-Mat Level I Responder, and NC Medical Certifications ( NC Medical Responder & EMT). The department operates eight pieces of apparatus (3 Engines, 1 Tanker, 1 Ladder, 1 Rescue / Service Truck, 1 Brush, and 1 QRV). The department operates out of one station at 3205 US 21 Hwy, just north of Brooks Crossroads and is first due in an approximately 45 square mile district (see map below). The men and women of our department are responsible for protecting the lives and property of the citizens of the West Yadkin Community, which includes parts of Hamptonville, Yadkinville, Boonville, and Jonesville. West Yadkin provides Fire, Rescue, EMS, and Haz-Mat services to the district as well as surrounding districts on mutual aid agreements. The West Yadkin Fire District is rated as a 6/9e fire district by the ISO which helps lower homeowners and business owners insurance rates who are within 1000 feet of a fire hydrant. This was achieved in 2010 at the request of the department for the ISO to evaluate the department s capabilities with its current equipment, water availability, and many other important factors. The West Yadkin Fire District is primarily a rural and residential community with many farms and wineries; however two of the largest commercial facilities (Lydall Inc. and Blue Rhino) are located in the district. West Yadkin is first due at three of the county schools (West Yadkin Elementary, Starmount Middle, and Starmount High), and also first due at the busiest interchange in the county (Interstate 77 and US Hwy 421). The Deep Creek Reservoir, which is now largest body of water in the county lies 100% inside the West Yadkin Fire District. On average our department responds to approximately 600 alarms for service each year.<br><br> <h2>Mission Statement:</h2> The mission of the Fire Company is to educate, serve, and protect our community.
