Carmel Fire Department (North Carolina)

==Department History==
Carmel Fire Department, renamed from Sharon Volunteer Fire Department, operated from 1979 until 1994 or 95. Sharon VFD originally served the present SouthPark area and heart of southeast Charlotte, relocating twice because of City of Charlotte annexation.  In 1994, Mecklenburg County made the decision to stop supplementary funding for three volunteer department, Carmel, Derita and Pinoca after their districts had essentially been annexed into the City of Charlotte.  The Carmel Fire Department’s district was reduced to a few acres of woods with no buildings, resulting in no calls.  The 120 calls the Carmel VFD responded to in 1993 were all in neighboring districts to back up other departments.  As a result, the Carmel Fire Department merged with Carolina Fire Department. Their station briefly served as a second station for the Carolina Fire Department before they consolidated to a single station.
