Throughout the month of March, the Town of Zebulon will highlight the women who serve our community across departments as part of Women’s History Month.
Today we recognize Volunteer Firefighter Michal Hall, who serves the community through the Zebulon Fire Department.
Hall serves in a volunteer capacity as a Firefighter and EMT alongside a dedicated team committed to protecting lives and property. Zebulon Fire crews respond to a wide range of emergencies, including structure fires, hazardous material incidents, vehicle accidents, and medical calls.
The department’s work also extends beyond emergency response through community engagement and outreach. Hall participates in public events, educates local businesses on fire codes and safety practices, reads to school children, and mentors teens through the Zebulon Junior Firefighter Program, helping them build skills while gaining exposure to the responsibilities of becoming a firefighter.
“As a Christian, I believe anything I do should be carried out as if I am doing it unto the Lord, as it is only by Him that I am able to do this. That’s how I take my responsibility on every call I respond to—treating every house as if it were my own and every patient as I would want my own family to be treated,” said Hall.
We thank Volunteer Firefighter Hall for her service, dedication, and commitment to protecting the Town of Zebulon.
