Town of Mooresville NC

THANK YOU, Mooresville Fire-Rescue members who assisted western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene!   A team of 11 first deployed to Ashe County on September 26, one day prior to Helene, to ensure they were ready to respond to emergencies. Today, October 11, the final group returned home to Mooresville. In total, 21 members helped communities in Ashe, Mitchell, and Yancey Counties. The group rescued at least 11 people and two animals, documented damage, assisted Emergency Operation Centers, searched rubble piles for victims, and went door-to-door to check on people unaccounted for. The team worked side-by-side local, state, and national Swiftwater Rescue and Urban Search and Rescue teams and fire departments.   While this group of 21 people is highly trained for situations like Hurricane Helene, they experienced things that they will never forget. We appreciate their passion, drive, and commitment to helping our neighbors in western North Carolina. Here at home, our firefighters added extra shifts to ensure our residents continued experiencing the high level of service MFR provides daily.

Mooresville Fire-Rescue, Police & E-911 Communications Continue to Aid Western North Carolina MOORESVILLE, NC – Mooresville Fire-Rescue, Mooresville E-911 Communications, and Mooresville Police Department continue to aid western North Carolina communities devastated by Hurricane Helene.   Mooresville Fire-Rescue’s (MFR) Swiftwater Rescue Team continues searching buildings and debris piles for survivors and victims, surveying and documenting damage, and distributing water and food to residents in Ashe County. To date, the team has rescued 11 people and two animals in Ashe County. The team will remain in Ashe County until it is safe for residents and their first responders.   “This work is very strenuous. These men spend most of the time walking and climbing through dangerous debris piles, searching for any survivors or victims,” said MFR Chief Curt Deaton. “They see things they won’t ever forget. For some of our team, they’ve been there for 10 days straight now, working around the clock. I am extremely proud of all 18 members and know the work they are doing is crucial to help restore Ashe County.”   North Carolina Emergency Management also deployed Mooresville E-911 Communications Telecommunicators prior to the storm to ensure they were ready to assist Burke County residents as soon as Helene hit.   Mooresville Police Department (MPD) has coordinated with the North Carolina Association of Chiefs of Police and North Carolina Emergency Management to organize and deploy law enforcement teams to western North Carolina. On Saturday, October 5, the first team of seven MPD officers deployed to the Asheville area to assist in securing two facilities. The first team will serve until October 11, at which time another eight-person MPD team, currently on standby, may deploy. MPD is committed to providing continuous support to western North Carolina as long as needed without sacrificing service to Mooresville residents and visitors.  “The men and women of the MPD are and have been providing help to affected communities to our west. We had telecommunicators who were there right before the storm kicked off in what was determined to be an immediate need. They were on the phones with callers that were in need of help. Many of those calls ended abruptly. They heard things that will live with them forever,” shared MPD Chief and Assistant Town Manager Ron Campurciani. “We are now poised for a response of law enforcement officers to address the needs of those communities. I am proud of these men and women every day, but what they are doing now and the situation they and every first responder is going into and dealing with daily to help our western neighbors is truly just amazing. All of us are praying for everyone affected by this tragedy, and we are resolute in our conviction to play a small part to give them the help they need to start putting their lives back together.”
