The Surf City Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1966 by a group of dedicated people with a desire to serve their community and to provide quality, effective and efficient fire protection services. To see more about us in years past, please visit our History page. The department is led into action by Chief Demetrius Batts. Chief Batts has been a member of the department for over 20 years. He began as a "junior firefighter" is his younger years and has progressed through the ranks. He previously served as Chief from 1995 to 2001. The department consists of over 30 dedicated men and women, who are all on a volunteer status. We currently operate out of one station, with 6 pieces of apparatus that are always ready to serve when called
