Mint Hill Volunteer Fire Department

Edit

Overview[]

The Mint Hill Volunteer Fire Department was organized in 1952 as a volunteer agency providing fire and rescue services in Mint Hill and the surrounding unincorporated areas of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. In 1974, the department also began providing medical transport (ambulance) services for the town. In 2019, those EMS responsibilities were turned over to the county's EMS provider MEDIC.

In 2025, the department opened its second station to improve coverage and response times to the western portion of the town. With the opening of this second station, the department now covers all of the Town of Mint Hill. The Idlewild Volunteer Fire Department, which had previously covered a portion of the town, disbanded. The same year. the department transitioned to combination staffing with both full and part-time employees.

The department currently holds a Class 2 ISO rating and responds to more than 5,000 calls for service per year.
