SBVFD RESPONDS TO FAMILY SAVED BY SMOKE DETECTORS....

It was nearly 10pm when 911 was activated by a local Franklin Road area family who were
warned by the sound of Smoke Detectors Alarming. The family rushed quickly to figure out what was
beeping as they rounded the corner they saw smoke and flames from the Kitchen.

Quick action of the Husband and the use of a Kitchen Fire Extinguisher were able to put the fire out.
SBVFD responded and used a Thermal Imager Camera to check for fire extension.

Do your Smoke Detectors work?  Did you change the batteries when time changed?
Do you have a home Fire Extinguisher?

IF you need help in checking your Smoke Detectors or Home Fire Extinguisher - call us at 895-5066
and we'll contact you and schedule a time to come and check them for you.

Our Mission

The Salem Blackman Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department (SBVFD) proudly serves the citizens living and working in an area of 25 square miles of Rutherford County. We protect a mix of residential, rural and commercial facilities. We are a department whose members serve on a volunteer status.
Our members receive no pay.

Amongst providing Fire and Life Safety Services, the SBVFD is the only volunteer agency in Rutherford County that provides EMS First Responder services in a partnership with Rutherford County Emergency Medical Service (RCEMS). The EMS First Responder Program allows us to reach you and render aid when the Ambulance Service request us. This is a very intense program and we are proud to be the first volunteer agency providing this service to our citizens.

Our department was the first department in the county to provide a "full compliment" of extrication resources in time of need which supports our working relationship with the Rutherford County Rescue Squad and RCEMS. We were also the first department in the county to provide Hazardous Materials Response.
