Why did we fix a TX truck in SC?
When a fire truck is damaged, the priority is simple- get it back in service, regardless of where it comes from. This ladder truck from Temple, Texas was fully repaired and returned to service at Safe Collision in South Carolina.

Where is our Oakboro shop?
From the mountains to the coast, the Oakboro team keeps trucks moving across all of North Carolina. With technicians spread across the state, their work doesn’t stay in one shop — it shows up wherever departments need it.
What is the difference between a woodland and structural firefighter?
Where the fire burns determines how it’s fought. In the wild, crews work long hours in harsh terrain, staying ahead of fast-moving fires. In our communities, firefighters respond within minutes, pushing into dangerous conditions to control fires and protect lives. Different environments, different approaches – same mission.

What do you care about?
We asked for your input last month and didn’t receive a single response.
That tells us one of two things. Either we didn’t ask the right way, or this doesn’t feel worth your time.
We believe it is.
If this newsletter is going to be useful, it has to reflect what you actually care about. Not what we assume you care about.
So we’re asking again.
