Pike now has paid firefighters

The Pike County board of commissioners recently approved limited paid staffing for the Pike County Fire Department

“Beginning Monday, July 11, 2022, the PCFD will be manning Station 7 in the city of Zebulon with paid firefighters,” said PCFD public information officer Anita Neath. 

The firefighters will be on call Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

All volunteer personnel who are currently on the county’s PCFD roster will continue to respond and perform duties as usual.

“We look forward to what the future brings for the department and our service to the citizens of Pike County,” said Neath. “Remember to dial 911 for all emergencies!”
