Woodlawn Fire Department (North Carolina)

== History ==
The Woodlawn Volunteer Fire Department was the second VFD in Mecklenburg, and was organized April 1, 1948 as a project by Woodlawn Community Center. Their first station was built in 1949 on Woodlawn Road, Charlotte. After that area was annexed, Woodlawn VFD built a new station in 1964 at 8041 Nations Ford Road, Charlotte. 
By 1973, about 90% of Woodlawn’s district had been annexed by the City of Charlotte. The County considered changing district boundaries to keep the department viable, but that did not occur. The department closed its doors in 1975. On Nov. 17, 1975, County Commissioners approved the changing of fire district boundaries so the remaining Woodlawn VFD area would now be part of Steele Creek VFDs district. Their station on Nation Fords was re-purposed by the County as an EMS station and is still used by MEDIC.
