| With Tropical Storm Florence upon us the West End Fire Department will be fully staffed and we will help in anyway we can. The best thing that can be done is to stay where you are and stay off the roads unless it is absolutely necessary. Here is a list of resources that will be helpful to you.
The "ReadyNC" app available for iPhone's and Android phones is a great mobile resource to have to keep up to date information. They have information about Weather, Road Conditions, Power Outages and Open Shelters just to name a few.
SHELTER/EOC CONTACT: 910-947-6317
