The Coleridge-Erect Volunteer Fire Department operates two stations with approximately 40 members in the southeastern corner of Randolph County. Our district serves approximately 2,800 citizens and covers approximately 79 square miles (one of the larger districts in the county). Our department responds to various fire, EMS, hazardous material, and service calls throughout the Coleridge and Erect area. We also routinely assist our neighboring fire districts (Seagrove, Eastside , Franklinville, and Staley) and even Chatham County through mutual aid agreements.
Our department has three members who are employed part time, which work no more than 12 hours per week per person. It is the responsibility of these three employees to keep and maintain both stations, apparatus, equipment, required paperwork, and to be able to respond to calls we receive while on duty in an effort to further decrease response time. Other than those three positions, all other members are strictly volunteer, and receive no compensation for their time or fuel to get to and from the station and calls. Our members are not paid on a 'per call' basis, and therefore proud to call themselves true volunteers.
We have recently started selling reflective address signs.
It is important that emergency responders can find you when you call 9-1-1.
Response time can be delayed when house numbers are not adequately posted at the end of your driveway. Large, visible, reflective signs posted on both sides of your mailbox can prevent responders from "searching" for your house when seconds matter the most.
If you are interested in purchasing a customized address sign for just $15, please contact us.
We Can Always Use Good VOLUNTEERS.
