Welcome to the Elon Fire Department’s web page. It is our goal that the contents of this site provide the citizens of Elon and prospective volunteers with information about the department and the services it provides.
 The Elon Fire Department is a combination fire department made up of 2 stations, Elon-1 and Elon-2, 11 paid personnel and 30 volunteers. The department also has a Fire Explorer Program where young adults can learn about the fire service. The department provides fire protection, emergency medical response and public service to the Town of Elon, Elon University and rural areas outside the Town. All together the department covers approximately 14 square miles with a population of 7,000 to 15,000 when the University is in session. The majority of our response area is residential, but with the addition University Drive, not only have we seen our number of 3 story apartment complexes quadruple, but also expect our commercial response area to grow in the near future as well.

Along with Elon University, the department provides response to Elon Elementary School, three retirement homes, including the Twin Lakes Community, Oaks Retirement Home, Blakey Hall, the new Elon School and Interstate 85/40. Our call response is broken down to approximately 50% medical calls, 40% fire calls and 10% public service calls. For more information on call response please see our Emergency Response Page.
The Elon Fire Department has a total of 12 pieces of apparatus. These include our primary Engines, Aerial Truck, Rescue Truck, Medical and utility vehicles. For more information on our apparatus please see our Apparatus Page.
