We take great pride in being part of an elite group of Class 4 departments in North Carolina. We provide the Riceville Community with fire and emergency medical services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Please feel free to browse around for useful safety tips and information about our department.
Volunteer firefighters devote their time to protect you and your community. Duracell's Power Those Who Protect Us donation program lets you give back to these selfless heroes. When you purchase specially marked CopperTop packs, they will make a battery donation to volunteer fire departments to power communication devices and life-saving equipment. Each pack contains a unique code, which you can enter to direct your battery donation to a volunteer fire department of your choice.
The Riceville Volunteer Fire Department is accepting applications for Auxillary Members. Have you wanted to be involved with helping others having their worse day in your community? We have openings within our Department where you can provide comfort and support. For more information contact us via email jane.little@ricevillefire.org or chief@ricevillefire.org, thank you.
Log into the NC Division of Forestry to obtain a burning permit. As a courtesy, we ask that you call the station 828-298-2456 when you are burning. Remember you are only allowed to burn natural vegetation that originated on your property such as leaves.
