Statement from the Chief

Chief Tim Henson
The residents of the Cruso Community should be proud of the group of men and women that are protecting them. We are without a doubt one of the fasting growing and most progressive fire departments in Haywood County. I am humbled and proud to serve as the Chief of the Cruso Fire and Rescue Department, for which I have personally been a member for more than 20 years and a lifelong resident of the Cruso Community. It is my goal in the near future to reduce the insurance rating of the insurance premiums of our residents. I will continue to keep the department progressing and moving forward with the help of the fine men and women whom I am proud to serve with at the Cruso Fire and Rescue Department.
