About Us
A Nationally Recognized Standard of Excellence
Cumberland Road Volunteer Fire Department is proud to hold an ISO Class 1 fire protection rating — the highest possible rating awarded by the Insurance Services Office. This prestigious designation not only reflects our department’s strong commitment to preparedness, rapid response capabilities, and comprehensive community risk reduction, but it also places us among the top 1% of fire departments nationwide.
We are especially proud to note that Cumberland Road Volunteer Fire Department is the first county fire department in Cumberland County to achieve a Class 1 rating — a milestone that underscores our unwavering pursuit of excellence and the exceptional service we provide to the citizens we serve.
In addition to serving our own district, we assist the City of Fayetteville Fire Department and provide automatic aid to surrounding agencies, including Hope Mills, Spring Lake, Fort Liberty, and other county departments.

We operate with some of the most advanced fire and rescue equipment available. Our fleet includes:
One pumper/tanker (1,000-gallon capacity, 1,500 GPM pump)
Two engines (750-gallon capacity, 1,500 GPM pump)
A fully equipped rescue/service vehicle with extrication tools
A smaller squad unit for emergency medical calls
Our People, Our Pride

Each member takes great pride in their work, upholding a shared commitment to excellence and community service. We function as more than a team — we are a family, always striving to support one another and our neighbors.
Though we serve the smallest fire district in Cumberland County, we are proud to be among the busiest departments. The challenges are great, but so are the rewards. At Cumberland Road Volunteer Fire Department, we continue to raise the bar — because our community deserves nothing less than the very best.
Cumberland Road Fire Department is committed to providing superior fire, rescue, and emergency services to the citizens of our community in a proficient, professional, and compassionate manner. We continuously promote life safety by practicing prevention, planning, education, and training.
Mission Statement
Chartered in 1955, Cumberland Road Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to delivering fire protection, emergency services, and fire and life safety education to the citizens of the Cumberland Road Fire District in Cumberland County, North Carolina.
Formed by the residents of the Faymont Community, the department emerged from a growing need for localized fire protection. As the City of Fayetteville expanded, it became clear that its fire department could no longer adequately serve both city and county residents. In response, the community came together to establish its own fire service, rooted in the mission to provide the highest level of protection possible.
Today, that same spirit of dedication continues to guide us. We remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering exceptional fire, rescue, and emergency services in a professional, proficient, and compassionate manner. Through prevention, planning, education, and training, we actively promote life safety throughout our community.
