As winter weather moves into the area, @CFD_Alarm is increasing staffing and preparing for a surge in 911 calls this weekend.

Dispatchers are overstaffing every shift to ensure the closest, fastest help is sent when emergencies happen. If you need help, don’t hesitate to call 911. Crews are ready to respond and support the community through the storm.

This is just a drill. No Emergency!

[Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Management @CharMeckEM]

Tomorrow, the Charlotte Region Urban Area Security Initiative, along with dozens of partner agencies, will conduct large-scale emergency response training at Carowinds from October 7 to 9. Expect visible police, fire, and EMS presence in the area from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Loud noises, simulated gunfire, explosions, and emergency vehicles are part of the exercise. This is ONLY a drill, not an emergency. The park will be closed to the public.

This training helps first responders strengthen coordination and improve emergency preparedness for real-world incidents. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to improve emergency preparedness across our region.

Update from yesterday’s 2-Alarm on Revolution Park Drive. Solid work by our CFD members on a hot day! #CFDpride

[Charlotte Fire Dept @CharlotteFD]

Structure Fire Update: 3900 block of Revolution Park Drive. The Charlotte Fire Investigation Task Force determined the fire originated in a large pile of cardboard. The winds contributed to the fire spread to surrounding cardboard. The majority of the fire was contained to the exterior. Although there was extension of fire to the interior of the building, it was mostly controlled by the sprinkler system. Estimated content/property loss $65K.

[Charlotte Fire Dept. @charlottefire]

This morning at 0800 hours, Engine 44 was officially placed in service.

With the sound of a single long alert tone, the announcement was made across Charlotte Fire: “Engine 44 is now in service.”

Temporarily housed at Firehouse 43, Engine 44 will serve the River District until its permanent home is completed off Dixie River Road.

With this addition, Charlotte Fire now proudly operates 44 engine companies—each one a commitment to service, readiness, and protection for our city.

To the firefighters riding Engine 44: may your shifts be safe, your response swift, and your service honorable.

Watch the moment Engine 44 went in service.
