Denton Fire Department


The Town of Denton Fire Department is a small fire department located in the southern part of Davidson County, NC. The Department's combination of 7 part-time employees and 23 volunteers provide fire protection to the 1 square mile town of Denton. The Department also serves a rural district outside the city limits. We currently hold a DOI Class 5/9 rating.

 

Our Mission: Our mission to provide the citizens of Denton with outstanding professional firefighting and rescue tactics, using industry standards and benchmarks to achieve this goal.

Our Vision: To be an organization that is dedicated to providing lifesaving acts, and providing property conservation to citizens, business owners, and guests.

Our Motto: Duty, Pride, Bravery.

The Denton Fire Department is a community organization at heart, because we are made up of citizens from the community. We participate in Street Festival, Tour De Kale, Harrison Park 5K Run, Street Treat, and other community activities throughout the year.

The Fireman's Prayer

The Foremans Prayer

When I am called to duty God,
Wherever flames may rage,
Give me strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child,
Before it is too late,
Or save an older person,
From the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert,
And hear the weakest shout,
And quickly and efficiently,
Put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling,
And to give the best in me,
To guard my every neighbor,
And protect his property.

And if according to my fate,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless me with your protecting,
My children and my wife.
