Purpose:
This Association is a Non-Profit Association established to benefit the community at large.
The Primary purpose of the Association is to maintain a Volunteer Fire Department and a Community Building Complex to serve the Residents of Broad Creek, West Broad Creek including the community of Ocean west to and including Red Barn Road area and Gales Creek area east to the Jumping Run Creek area of Carteret County, North Carolina.
During the course of time, this Association may undertake other projects for the mutual benefit of the membership.
The dedicated residents of the area formed what is the Broad and Gales Creek Community Association in 1963 to help establish and oversee a Fire Department and provide a meeting place for the citizens of the communities. The Broad and Gales Creek Fire Department was first created in 1964 by the Community Association Board of Directors who wanted to provide fire protection for their community. In 1967 the residents created a fire protection tax district held by referendum to help with the funding of the department, in 1970 the Gales Creek community established an additional fire tax district held by referendum to become part of our Fire District, and in 1975 West Broad Creek Fire District, which includes the community of Ocean, was established by referendum thus creating the Broad and Gales Creek Fire District. All three areas were voted on and established as Fire Protection Tax Districts by the citizens of those communities. In 2009 the Carteret County Commissioners voted to include the Red Barn Road area to the existing West Broad Creek district completing what is now our fire district. The Red Barn Road area is considered a Service District instead of a Tax District due to that area being created by the Carteret County Commissioners for Fire and EMS service instead of being voted for in a general election held by the Board of Elections to become a Tax District.
