🚨 WE'RE HIRING! 🚨
The Wilmington Fire Department is looking for Fire Engineers and Lieutenants! We're an all-hazards response, accredited, and ISO Class 1 department in a growing coastal North Carolina city. Come lead, train, and protect with the best!
Our thoughts and prayers are with @durhamcityfire, the family & friends of the firefighter who made the ultimate sacrifice, & the two firefighters who were injured at a residential fire early this morning. We stand with our brothers & sisters in Durham during this difficult time.
The eastbound lane of Cape Fear Memorial Bridge is shut down following an accident. Please find alternate route.
