Relocating to OBX

[GFD156]

I am relocating to Eastern Carolina - My office will be in Nags Head. I am looking for a good place to move to that has a pretty active volunteer dept. I am FF2 and EMT-B.
Any Ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

FD's that I know of, going from NORTH to SOUTH, geographically:

-Duck
-Corolla
-Southern Shores
-Kill Devil Hills
-Kitty Hawk
-Nags Head

On Roanoke Island,
-Manteo

(SOUTH of Oregon Inlet)
-Rodanthe
-Salvo
-Avon
-Buxton
-Frisco
-Hattaras

Then you have Ocracoke Island, with just the Ocracoke FD.

A very close friend is Asst Chief and Pres of the BOD at Avon if you are interested, but Avon is way south of Nags Head.

That is a little farther than I want to commute. But thanks anyway.

I just got a confirmed start date of my new job, it will be April 21st.

I have about 2 months to find a house to rent and get moved down there!!

Nags Head have a volunteer dept. but they aren't utilized much and may even be ditched in the next few years (they run 2 paid trucks, soon to be three). All the other town have good volunteer programs, including Roanoke Island (all volunteer, 2 stations), Kill Devil Hills, Colington, and Kitty Hawk (one paid engine crew, 1 station). Volunteers are alerted to all fire/rescue calls, as 99% of the EMS assist calls are handled by the paid guys. Volunteer stations are usually only toned out to EMS calls if requested by EMS.

GFD156,

I'm curious, what position did you land at the coast and what area are you moving from??

I am a computer engineer for Charter Communications, A Cable TV Company. Our local office is in Nags Head. I am also responsible for Roanoke Rapids, NC and Suffolk, VA
I am moving from CT (Guilford)

I got a House in Colington, so I am making contact with that company/ I am moving down next week. I have been working for Charter for 3 years and before that I worked in NYC and was in the Army stationed at Ft Bragg, NC

I met with the members of Colington FD last night and went on a drill with them. I am in the process of becoming a member. Thanks for everyones input!
