We are a full-service fire and rescue department, proudly recognized as a Heavy Rescue Provider by the N.C.

The Wadesboro Fire Department delivers a comprehensive range of emergency services, including fire suppression, rescue operations, and disaster preparedness. Our highly trained personnel are equipped to manage complex incidents, including structural fires, vehicle accidents, technical rescues, and hazardous material emergencies. With a strong commitment to public safety, our team responds with precision, professionalism, and care, always ready to protect our community when it matters most.
Beyond emergency response, we actively engage in fire prevention education and community outreach. We proudly collaborate with local organizations such as the Anson County Partnership for Children and NC Safe Kids to promote safety initiatives, including child passenger safety. In 2025, we celebrated the certification of seven new Child Passenger Safety Technicians, a milestone that enhances our ability to serve families and protect our youngest residents.
