West Mecklenburg Volunteer Fire Department

== Overview ==
The West Mecklenburg Fire Department is a volunteer agency providing fire, rescue and medical first responder services to the unincorporated areas of western Mecklenburg County, between the City of Charlotte and the Gaston County Line.  
== History ==
The West Mecklenburg Fire Department was formed in January of 1984 when the Wilkinson Boulevard Fire Department and the Moores Chapel Fire Department merged. The Wilkinson Blvd Fire Department was the first volunteer fire department in Mecklenburg County, having been organized in 1950.  Moores Chapel was organized 4 year later. However, with annexation by the City of Charlotte, both departments lost significant area and decided to consolidate. The consolidated department initially operated out of both stations (Moores Chapel VFD was station 1 and Wilkinson VFD was station 2). The consolidated department built a new station on Sam Wilson Road in 1984.
