Fire

The Charlotte Fire Department strives to maintain an effective and reciprocal partnership with the community we serve.

Three public information officers staff the Charlotte Fire Department Office of Media and Public Affairs:   

Members of the media with questions regarding breaking news and emergency incidents should contact Captain Dennis Gist, Captain Jackie Gilmore or Battalion Chief Matt Westover at 704-336-2094. Please note that breaking news for emergency response can be acquired near real-time on Twitter @CharlotteFD​. An alternate means of contact during and after normal business hours is via email at cfdpio@charlottenc.gov.
