The fire station at Rural Hall

North Carolina · USA · Manor

The fire department at Rural Hall, North Carolina was founded in the late 1930s, and the current building is a remodelled extension of one of the originals.

One of the first chiefs is still there.

Day or night, it is not unusual to hear doors and other things about the station.

Fire stations occupy an unusual place in this archive. They are staffed continuously, the crews live in them, and the relationship between a small town department and its former chiefs is closer to family than to employment. Photographs of them hang on the wall.

Nobody at a station like this describes their old chief as frightening. He is simply still about, which is roughly how they would describe him if he had retired and kept dropping in.

The station is a working fire department.
