The future station will be located just north of Falls Lake. @NorthernWakeFD, @WakeCountyEMS and @WakeSheriff will use Sandy Plains Station to serve northwestern #Wake County. 🚒🚑🚓

The facility will be built with energy-efficient technology and top-of-the-line facilities for #FirstResponders. It's expected to open for service by October 2026.

#Firefighter occupational cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty death in the fire service. Local leaders in #WakeCounty want to raise awareness and take action towards change.

Since it’s #FirefighterCancerAwarenessMonth, we’ll be posting our four-part video series throughout the month of January to share the reality of firefighter occupational cancer: past, present and future. ❤️🚒

@Eagle_Ball Yes. And send @TateRodemaker back to Tallahassee. Will Halls coaching has ruined that young man.
