Established in 1919, the Black Mountain Fire Department is located in Western North Carolina. A combination paid and volunteer organization. We have 16 paid firefighters 8 part time paid, and 44 volunteers at the present time. The department has achieved a Class 4 rating for the townÂ’s fire protection. We provide fire suppression and prevention, rescue, confined space and search services to the community. We protect some 27 square miles which include two fire districts, the Town of Black Mountain and the East Buncombe Fire District, as well as the Town of Montreat. Several large manufacturing facilities, conference centers and state facilities are within our protection areas.
Our mission is to save lives and protect property in the Black Mountain community, and to assure that every person who contacts the fire department receives satisfaction to the best of our ability.
