The Town of Fairview is more than just a beautiful place to live; it's a community that prioritizes the safety and well-being of its residents. One of the most critical components of this commitment is the Fairview Fire Rescue Department, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary this June. This milestone is not just a marker of time but a testament to the town's dedication to maintaining a high quality of life for its citizens.
A Community Built on Safety and Service
Since its inception in 1974, Fairview Fire Rescue has grown from a volunteer crew of dedicated individuals into a well-staffed and highly trained department. Initially housed in the old Town Hall building on State Highway 5, the department has expanded alongside Fairview's population, which has grown from approximately 500 residents to nearly 11,000.
The growth of Fairview Fire Rescue mirrors the town's development and commitment to safety. With 29 full-time and three part-time employees and a volunteer captain, the department operates with an advanced life-support ambulance service and certified paramedics. This level of service is a cornerstone of Fairview's appeal, providing peace of mind to residents and businesses alike.
Celebrating a Legacy of Service
Join us at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 29, at Fire Station 1 (510 S. State Highway 5) as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of Fairview Fire Rescue. This celebration is an opportunity to honor the firefighters who have dedicated their lives to serving Fairview.
The event will feature the unveiling of a Firefighter Wall of Honor and the renaming of Fire Station 1 in honor of former Fairview Fire Chief Dick Price. These unveilings are symbolic and represent the town's deep appreciation for the courage and dedication of its firefighters.
The celebration will also include free popcorn, snow cones, food from Chick-fil-A, and a bounce house, making it a fun and family-friendly event. It's a chance for the community to come together, celebrate our shared history, and look forward to a future built on a solid foundation of safety and service.
