About Us

The Mountain Home Fire and Rescue is a nonprofit organization that operates off a fire protection tax base in Henderson County, North Carolina. We are combination volunteer-paid fire department operating out of 3 stations. We have 25 volunteers and 13 paid firefighters that provide 24-hour coverage for our district.

We cover 17.5 square miles with a population of 15,000. We have an annual budget of $1,150,000, for the year 2010, that is overseen by a 9-member board of directors.
