Carolina Township Volunteer Fire Department would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to EJE Recycling for their incredibly generous donation of our old 1970 front-mount pump engine.
Many years ago, this historic engine was sold to EJE Recycling, and we are honored and grateful that they have chosen to return it to us. This engine holds a very special place in our department's history, as it was the third brand-new fire engine ever purchased by our department.
Having this piece of our heritage back means more to us than words can express. It represents the dedication and service of the firefighters who operated it and the countless calls it responded to in protection of our community.
Thank you, Eje Recycling, for preserving this important part of our history and for your generosity in donating it back to our department. We look forward to restoring and displaying this treasured engine for generations to appreciate

The statewide burn ban remains in effect until further notice despite weekend rain in some areas. Persistent dry weather and increasing rainfall deficits from the last several months have left most of the state needing 10 inches of rain or more.

“While the rainfall we received over the weekend was a welcome sight, it offered little to no relief from widespread drought conditions while being nowhere near enough to reduce our wildfire risk,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “Even the areas that received the heaviest amount of rain will quickly dry out from the sunshine and warmer temperatures. Until we get some additional rain and see more green-up in our forests, holding the burn ban in place statewide is the best option right now.”

While green-up and leaf-out are progressing at normal rate, low soil moisture, dry surface fuels and persistent low humidity are contributing to wildfire activity. For Western North Carolina, excessive forest fuels from Hurricane Helene are more available now than they were in 2025, low water levels in coastal areas have helped produce intense fire behavior where ground fire will likely be a long-term issue, and the Piedmont experienced 87 new wildfire starts over the weekend alone. Extended attack and mop-up efforts will be taxing and long-winded until drought conditions improve.

This afternoon, we had the sweetest little visitors at the station. It put the biggest smiles on all our fire fighters faces that happened to be at the station. We got to laugh, play and even see them cheer. Thank you Grifton Cheer & Dance for bringing your tiny but mighty squad out to see us.
