| Falls FD merges with Wake Forest FD
Sunday 3/25/2012
Today marked the end of one era and the beginning of another. Wake County fire station #21 was merged with the Wake Forest FD. With the increased financial pressure of today's economy, it make the sense to combine our resources. thus improving the service provided to both the Falls and Wake Forest communities. The merger will keep the crew that has served the Falls community in place, while adding a tremendously dedicated, trained and experienced department of Firefighters. |
The name has changed but the River Rats live on
With the merger complete of the Falls FD with the Wake Forest FD we wanted to create our yearly video and dedicate it to all our members, past and the present. This video pays tribute to the effort and sacrifices made by the members of the Falls Volunteer FD during 2011 as well as some shots and footage from years gone by. Our name has changed but the dedication to the community we serve has not. We hope you enjoy the video. All music is copy-written by their respective artists. | The Falls Fire Dept. Final Chapter created by Ben Meyer. |
