Chief: Matt Wingate
Bandys Fire/Rescue is a combination department comprised of part time engineers and volunteers. Bandys is located within the beautiful Catawba Valley of Catawba County N.C. just a short drive from Lake Norman. Thirty minutes from Charlotte and an hour away from the high country. Our district is the largest in Catawba County, thus making us one of the busiest volunteer agencies. We provide fire and medical response to our citizens and to the citizens of the surrounding communities when called upon. We are constantly growing and striving to stay ahead of the changing times. Due to the outstanding dedication of our staff, our "live in" members and of course our volunteers we provide a quick strategic response to every incident we are called to. We have a Junior Firefighter program which allows youth of the community to actively participate around the station and continue to learn this trade as they grow into adults. Our department has come a long way since founded in 1962. As the community around us continues to grow, so we will. We are always there when you call for us.
