You’ve seen this map before of Mecklenburg County fire districts in 1959, created by the county firemen’s association. William Kennedy re-created a digital version, using GIS. He posted as a comment in this Facebook posting of ours. Click to enlarge.
Wilkinson Boulevard was the first rural fire department in Mecklenburg County, and one of the first rural departments in North Carolina.
Souvenir Booklet, 1948
In 1948, the Wilkinson Boulevard Fire Department of Mecklenburg County published a small souvenir booklet. It contained a history of the department, which was the first rural fire department in the county. The early milestones included:

How many black volunteer fire companies named Excelsior served in our state, back in the day? It appears just three. Shown are Durham (top), Greensboro (middle), and Rocky Mount (bottom). See below for details.
Companies
Durham
Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company
Housed at 201 Pine Street, now South Roxboro Street
Served from mid-1880s to 1909
Greensboro
Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company
Excelsior Hose Company No. 2
Housed at [goes here]
Served from 1887 to 1926?
Need more information. Were there two companies? Or one, but it either evolved from H&L to hose reel, or staffed two types of apparatus? And did they operate all the way until the implementation of the paid FD in 1926? TBD.
Rocky Mount
Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company
Housed in 100 block of E. Thomas Street

Guest post by Tom Link, retired Charlotte battalion chief and history buff
For those of us who have loved the fire service, we have a special admiration for those firefighters who came before us, the men who built the organizations and established what would become hallowed traditions.
For me, the appeal of the fire service was based on my admiration of the men who did the job. The men who would share their stories and their enthusiasm. The men who would push you to be a better person by their example.
Not many people in the fire service today would know of Harper Johnson Elam, but his love of the fire service created organizations that have been the foundation of the fire service in North Carolina.
Early Years in Charlotte
Harper J Elam’s first involvement in the fire service began in Charlotte at the age of 17 with the creation of a volunteer fire company in 1874. At that time, the Hornet Steam Fire Engine Company was already a well-established volunteer fire company active in the community and its membership closely resembled the list of “who’s who” of Charlotte’s elites at the time. The Hornets had been using an old Clapp & Jones steam fire engine for a number of years, but it was beginning to have some problems. The Hornets petitioned for a new fire steam fire engine and the old Clapp & Jones engine was sold to a scrap dealer. It soon captured the attention of a young Irish mechanic, A.A. “Jake” Hand.
Jake Hand was a young man and did not enjoy the power, prestige or position that members of the Hornet Fire Company possessed. As he looked at the pile of scrap, he saw possibilities for the old engine. He talked a group of friends into helping him repair the old engine. One of those friends was a young printer by the name of Harper J. Elam. Soon, the group decided to form the Pioneer Steam Fire Engine & Hose Company No. 2. The young men asked a Civil War veteran, Captain Frank McNinch, to serve as their president. One requirement for membership was an age restriction… all other joining members were required to be between the ages of 16 and 21.
It was not long before the young men of the Pioneer Steam Fire Engine Company had the opportunity to prove their worth to the people of Charlotte. They pulled the newly repaired and refurbished steam fire engine to a large fire and assisted the Hornet Fire Company in extinguishing a threatening fire. The people were impressed by their enthusiasm and the fact that the young men carried their fire hoses on their shoulders as they pulled their old steam engine. The community soon rallied to help raise money for the purchase of hose reels.

By 1878, Harper J. Elam was president of the Pioneer Steam Fire Engine Company. Membership had grown and so had efforts to supply the young fire company with uniforms and equipment. In the photo dated 1876 above, Harper J. Elam is standing in the middle with J. E. Brown on the left and J. V. Stiteler on the right. The young men attracted the attention of the young women of Charlotte. Harper J. Elam showed his appreciation for the fundraising efforts of Elizabeth Moyers by issuing a certificate of appreciation from the Officers of the Pioneer Steam Fire Engine Company. They would be married that same year.
Pioneer Steam Fire Engine Company No. 2 resolution, April 6, 1880.
Moved to Greensboro
Harper J. and Lizzie Elam moved to Greensboro in April of 1883. Harper J. Elam is best remembered as one of the founders of what has become the Greensboro News and Record. Greensboro respected him as one of their best fire service advocates. Elam joined the Steam Fire Engine Company No. 1 after moving to Greensboro. In 1887, Harper J. Elam joined with other progressive firefighters to organize the North Carolina State Firemen’s Association. In 1891, Elam was a founding member of the Eagle Hose Company No. 7. and was elected president.

In 1889, Harper J. Elam conceived of the idea to create a boy’s fire brigade and to allow them to participate in the upcoming firemen’s tournament in Durham as part of the meeting of the North Carolina State Firemen’s Association. He contacted an old friend in Charlotte, Sinclair Blackwelder, and asked for permission to use his working scale model of the old Pioneer Volunteer Steam Fire Engine.
Sinclair Blackwelder had been one of the original members of the Pioneer Steam Fire Engine Company. He was an apprentice at John Wilkes’ Mecklenburg Iron Works. His father, Lawson Blackwelder, was a veteran of the Mexican-American War and was serving as one of Charlotte’s earliest police officers. Sinclair Blackwelder’s skills allowed him the run of the foundry, and as a project, began the construction of a working scale model of the old Clapp & Jones Steam Fire Engine that was in use by the Pioneers. The model soon appeared at Industrial fairs in the state. Blackwelder agreed to Elam’s request and it was soon packaged for rail shipment to Greensboro.
Harper J. Elam announced his intentions and tendered two requirements: a mother’s permission and a mother’s promise to provide a fireman’s uniform for their son. Soon the Little Giant Steam Fire Engine Company was drilling under the supervision of Elam and Charlie Whittington. Henry Lewis, an engineer of one of the Greensboro fire companies, was enlisted to get the little engine back into working order. Soon, the boys were tearing down Market Street with their fire engine, much to the dismay of anyone on the street or sidewalk. A police officer arrested eight of the boys, but the Mayor interceded on their behalf. The group practiced for three weeks and then traveled to Durham to participate in the tournament. All indications are that they all survived the experience, and most likely several of these young men later served as firefighters in their communities.

Displayed in Charlotte
The Charlotte Fire Department has maintained the old model steam fire engine for many years. It has sat in the lobby of the old training academy, and later in the lobby of the old rented CFD Headquarters on 9th Street. I doubt many people have understood the meaning and value of this unique part of our history.
The old model of the Pioneer’s Clapp & Jones Steam Fire Engine is an important item of memorabilia that contributes to the memory of the early firefighters of Charlotte, Greensboro, and the state of North Carolina. I have great admiration for Harper J. Elam and his forward thinking. What a great way to introduce young people to the fire service. Today, providing young people with the opportunity to experience and learn about the fire service is viewed as a component of cultural change, one of the sixteen Life Safety Initiatives of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. It is just one example of his legacy and contributions to our history and traditions.
To my knowledge, Sinclair Blackwelder’s model of the Clapp & Jones Steam Fire Engine has been in the process of restoration. Hopefully, it can be restored to working order once again. Captain Clifford Grayson, the longtime head of the CFD mechanical shop, once told me that the men at the shop had hooked up the old model’s steam whistle and that it rattled all the windows. I hope that I get to hear it as well. I know it can still inspire future generations of firefighters.

Terrible news in Baltimore today, January 24, 2022. Three firefighters dead and fourth in critical condition after the partial collapse at a three-story row house, about 6:00 a.m. Killed were Lt. Paul Butrim, Firefighter/Paramedic Kelsey Sadler, and EMT/Firefighter Kenny Lacayo. Hospitalized and in critical but stable condition is EMT/Firefighter John McMaster. See news reports, social media postings, etc.
What’s the historical perspective? Here’s a partial answer. The Maryland Fire-Rescue Services Memorial records 166 members of BCFD that have died in the line of duty since 1866. Between that year and 1994, via data compiled from William Murray’s book “The Unheralded Heroes of Baltimore’s Big Blazes,” there were twelve multi-firefighter fatality incidents..
Below are details and data, plus citations for sources. Readers, check my work. Will update and correct as needed. Also need to look forward, from 1994 to present.

On December 31, 2012, the City of Raleigh Fire Department ended its 100th year of service as a career organization. It was staffed with 575 authorized positions and a budget of $50,483,534. They operated twenty-seven fire stations with twenty-eight engines, eight ladders, three rescues, and four Battalion Chiefs. The department was comprised of the Office of the Fire Chief, the Office of the Fire Marshal, the Operations Division, the Services Division, and the Training Division. They served a population of 416,468 people in an area of 144.39 square miles.
For the occasion of their centennial year, special events and activities were held through the year. A chicken and rice luncheon for retirees was held at the training center in April. An all-day celebration was held in downtown Raleigh in June. Thousands of people attended the event, which opened with a fire engine parade down Fayetteville Street. The parade was followed by an apparatus muster and a firefighter competition. An old-fashioned fireman’s ball was held in November at the Raleigh Convention Center.
Other special activities during the year included the operational restoration of the 1905 steam engine. Special centennial stickers were added to all fire apparatus, and centennial merchandise, including challenge coins and t-shirts, was sold as fundraisers. And a centennial history book was created, with a written history collecting and expanding upon the histories written for the 1984 and 2002 commemorative books.
The following timeline continues the history of the Raleigh Fire department, from 2013 through 2022.

Searches were suspended on Wednesday for the light plane with eight souls aboard that crashed off the coast of Carteret County, NC, on Sunday. The remains of all eight occupants had been located, along the plane’s fuselage. The expansive search started Sunday afternoon, after ATC at MCAS Cherry Point saw the craft disappear from radar. The command post was operating at Down East FD in Sea Level. The Coast Guard said that over 2,000 square-miles were searched.
What’s the historical perspective? It might be the worst private plane crash in state history. From Mike’s records, here’s his list of deadliest air crashes involving non-commercial or non-military aircraft:
1983, Jan 9 – Craven County – Seven killed, Beech D55, struck by F4C Phantom fighter about 30 miles south of MCAS Cherry Point at 1644 EST, after the private plane had entered restricted airspace, and the fighter was launched to intercept. The collision occurred in conditions of poor visibility. Several factors contributed to the collision.
1981, Feb 7 – Chapel Hill – Seven killed, Cessna 340A, collided with trees on final approach to Horace Williams Airport at 1910 EDT. Occurred during foggy conditions with zero visibility. Aircraft was also 554 pounds over maximum gross weight. Probably cause determined as improper IFR operation.
1992, May 15 – Greenville – Six killed. Piper PA-32-260. Crashed into wooden terrain shortly after take-off from Pitt-Greenville Airport at 0639 EDT. Dense fog conditions were present. Probable cause determined as failure of pilot to maintain proper climb rate after becoming spatially disoriented, with related factors of adverse weather, pilot’s self-induced pressure to make the file, and total lack of IFR experience.
1973, Apr 13 – Greensboro – Six killed. Cessna 402A. Crashed and burned upon impact in a field, about two miles from PTI airport, near an industrial park. Crash occurred after take-off at 2212 EDT. Probably cause determined as flight control system failure, elevator and elevator tab control system, after a connecting bolt came loose.
1971, Jul 2 – McDowell County – Beech S35. Crashed in adverse weather in/near Old Fort at 1235 EDT. Probably causes determined as pilot continued VFR flight into adverse weather conditions, and exceeded designed stress limits of aircraft. The plane disintegrated, and was located three days later.
1968, Jan 20 – Stokes County – Piper PA-31. Crashed in/near Tobaccoville at 1217 EDT, pilot believed to have been practicing stalls. Aircraft entered a flat spin. Probably cause determined as failure to obtain/maintain flying speed.
See Mike’s database for crashes with five fatalities, plus lists of commercial and military air crashes of significance (and with far greater numbers of fatalities).
See NTSB reports at the Aviation Accident Database & Synopses site.

Charlotte – 1936 White/1935? Charlotte Auto & Wagon Works – Hose & Nozzle magazine archives, courtesy Troy FD – Body was transferred from the two-ton International chassis to the three-ton White chassis in November 1937, said a CFD annual report, 1937
Greensboro – 195_ Dodge/Truitt, added by 1954, picture from an Onan advertisement. Built to spec for GFD. “Located in the many steel compartments are four 500-watt floodlights, five 150-watt hand lights, electric saws, suction fans, electric drills, two 300-feet reels of light cord, an acetylene cutting and welding outfit, and dozens of other items.” More at https://legeros.com/blog/gfd-power-truck/
Greensboro – 1972 HHC 1610A/Truitt, remount of older body (correct?). This one’s the one that folks remember the most. Housed at Station 4 and on the roster forever. Readers, when was it retired? Richard Adelman Collection.
Winston-Salem – 1940 Dodge/shop – Built by WSFD. Alt. year 1941, in NBFU report. Housed at HQ by 1959, and by then was “manned upon special call by the master mechanic or a detailed fireman.” Carried seven portable lights and a 10 KVA generator powered by a four-cylinder motor. When was the thing put in service? TBD. Richard Adelman Collection.
Greensboro – 195_ International/__________ salvage unit, so not quite a dedicated power and light unit. (Needed a sixth pic to fill out the montage.) Also carried a couple deluge guns! Added in 1955, bought new and built to spec. Hose & Nozzle magazine archives, courtesy Troy FD.

This is the time of year that attentions turn to diversity and inclusion. And an occasional question to Mr. History is “who were the first X, Y, Z” in the history of the Raleigh Fire Department.
