Northeast
Stokes Vol. Fire and Rescue Inc.
Station 36
Sandy Ridge
NC
During the
year 1964 a group of Citizens of the Sandy Ridge Community met in the
auditorium of Sandy Ridge School to discuss the possibility of starting a Fire
and Rescue Department. At this meeting, 8 Directors were selected to contact
the organizations already established in the community to determine the help
they would provide. The original Directors were: Frank Spencer, John A.
Dodson, James Mays, Bethel Smith, Roy Steele, Cleo Lemons,
Oscar Wood
and Warford Spencer.
After much
work with the various community organizations, It was decided to construct a
Building which would be a Community Building upstairs and with the Fire
and Rescue Department downstairs. The organization was chartered as a
Corporation on March 23 1965.
The name
Northeast Stokes Vol. Fire Department was chosen for this Corporation Due to
the fact that the name Sandy Ridge Vol. Fire Department was already
being used by another Department in NC.
On December
21 1988 The original charter was Amended to change the name of the Corporation
to: Northeast Stokes Vol. Fire and Rescue Squad Inc.
Our First
Fire Truck
A 1948 MACK
Was purchased
from Brookden Maryland Fire Department.
Our Goals
As in the
Past and Present and the coming years are to maintain the highest level of
Training and the most Effective Equipment and Apparatus needed for the
services rendered
to our
Community. And the surrounding Communities of Stokes County.
