Dear Residents of Wingate and the Allens Crossroads VFD District,

As Fire Chief of the Allens Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department, it is both an honor and a privilege to serve the dedicated and resilient members of this incredible community. I have grown up here, my family lives here and this fire department is an extension of my family, too.

Our department exists because of the trust and support you place in us each day. Whether responding to emergencies, providing life-saving aid, or supporting local events, our firefighters—many of whom are your neighbors, friends, and family—volunteer their time out of a deep commitment to protecting and uplifting our district.

We remain dedicated to continuous training, safety, and preparedness so that we are always ready when you need us most. We are proud of the strong partnerships we’ve built with local agencies, leaders, and—most importantly—you, the citizens we serve.

On behalf of every member of the Allens Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department, thank you for your continued support. We are honored to serve you, and we pledge to uphold the values of duty, integrity, and community in every call we answer. If you live in our district and have a heart to serve your community, know there’s always a seat at the table for you here.

With gratitude and respect,

Chief David Smith
Allens Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department
