Banner Elk Volunteer Fire Department-Station 1

Located in the high country of North Carolina, Banner Elk Fire Rescue is one of the busiest volunteer fire departments in the region, responding to an average of 650 calls annually for fire and rescue EMS. Covering a large area of northeast Avery County, their district includes popular vacation destinations like Sugar Mountain and private communities such as Eagle's Nest and Elk River.

With a team trained in the rugged peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Banner Elk Fire Rescue is currently in the planning stages for a new fire station on Main Street. Their dedicated officers and Board of Directors oversee operations as the department continues to see a steady increase in emergency responses each year, serving both visitors and residents alike.
