North Warren Fire Department North Warren Fire Department
Located in Warren County, Tennessee
Ever Ready. Ever Willing. The department's first truck was a 1952 Chevrolet open cab pumper.

The North Warren Fire Department was organized in September of 1974 after the City of McMinnville ceased to answer rural fire calls. This was the last area of Warren County not to have it's own volunteer fire department. We rented two bays from T.B. Adams service station located in the Gath Community (current location of Ace Fence Co.). The first fire chief was Glenn Vandagriff. In 1976, we built our first fire station in the Dibrell Community, on land that was donated by Russell Jone. The building has three bays with an office, kitchen and dining room area. By 1981, our apparatus consisted of a 1952 Chevrolet Pumper, a 1981 Ford Pumper, a brush truck and a tanker built on a 1952 Army surplus Studerbaker-Reo chassis. In 1985, we built our second station on Bluff Spring Road next to the Wayside Community Center. In 1995, we built our third station on Judge Warren Road. This was done to better protect the citizens in our 68 square mile response area.

Winter is Tennessee’s most dangerous season for residential structure fires, statistics show. Fire departments report a 70% increase in home fire deaths during winter compared to other seasons.

-Smoking and cooking account for more than 21% of the known causes for residential structure fires in Tennessee.

-Separately, more than 12% of residential structure fires resulting in a fatality were caused by smoking.

This winter, stay warm *and* safe by making fire safety a priority and take greater care at home in order to reduce the risk of a devastating fire.

A working smoke alarm is faster than the fastest fire truck, giving you and your loved ones time to escape the deadly smoke and flames of a home fire. Since the program’s inception in 2012, over 290,000 smoke alarms have been installed and there have been 510 verified saves.

In addition to the post shared from the Sheriff’s Department, some of our crews have been on the roads tonight and can confirm the roads are unsafe, impassable, and past the point of being treated.
Please be smart and stay home, folks. This is not an event you want to be caught up in. If you absolutely must be out in it, which we hope you do not, you will slide down hill, you will not be able to go up hill, and there is no way around it at this point.
Check on your neighbors
Watch for ice anywhere you walk
Cover up with a blanket and watch a movie. Stay warm, stay dry, stay home, please!
Continue to follow Warren County Sheriff’s Department for new information on road closures (nearly every road).

From North Warren FD

As the weekend winter storm approaches, and as all of Warren County prepares for snow and ice accumulation, North Warren Fire Department remains available for emergency calls.
If you must call 911 during this winter weather event, remember that our E-911 center will be getting lots of calls. If you cannot call, You can text our 911 center and receive the same services.

REMEMBER: Our firefighters and medical responders at NWFD are volunteer. We will be assisting our county resources as possible in a safe manner. Response times will be extended significantly, but if our responders do not arrive to you, it will only make all situations worse.

Please follow Warren County E-911, Warren County Sheriffs Dept, and NWS Nashville for continued and reliable updates on the area.

we would also like to share a few reminders.

1.) Space heaters should be at least 3 feet away from anything flammable, especially curtains and furniture.

2.) Never operate generators in or near closed, non-ventilated spaces, especially in your home, garage, and near windows.

3.) Never use ovens, stoves, grills, or generators to heat your home as this can cause fires and carbon monoxide buildup in your home.

4.) Only operate heaters to manufacturers instructions. Never modify a heating system.

5.) Test all of your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in your house to ensure they are working properly. This could be life saving.

Great read and we are now a part of the “sound the alarm” program.
