Cape Fear Tire recently donated a two-way radio antenna to Bladen County Public Safety, which includes law enforcement, fire and rescue.

Cape Fear Tire was founded in 1956 by Dewey Smith and most recently operated by his sons, Billy, Larry and Harold Smith.

“We are just glad to be able to do our part to help our community, law enforcement and emergency services,” said Larry Smith. “I spent 21 years with the Elizabethtown Rescue Squad as a charter member and 20 years as a County Commissioner. We understand the importance of radio communications in an emergency situation.”

“Billy, Larry and Harold Smith have a long history of being active and helping our community and we appreciate their support,” said Sheriff Jim McVicker.

The radio tower will be used for backup radio communications for county law, fire and rescue.
