Mount Airy Rescue Squad

Today, our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of Deputy Logan Utt, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Logan was more than a deputy. He was a dedicated public servant, a brother in emergency services, and a former firefighter with the Mount Airy Fire Department. Throughout the years, our members had the privilege of working alongside Logan on countless incidents, trainings, and community events. His commitment to serving others was evident in everything he did, and his impact on this community will never be forgotten.

The loss of a public servant is felt far beyond the badge or uniform. It is felt by every first responder who stood beside him, every citizen he protected, every friend who knew him, and most importantly, by the family who loved him.

On behalf of the officers, members, Board of Directors, and Auxiliary of the Mount Airy Rescue Squad, we extend our deepest condolences to Deputy Utt’s family, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, the Mount Airy Fire Department, and all of his friends and coworkers during this incredibly difficult time.

Please keep everyone affected by this tragic loss in your thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks ahead. We also ask that you keep the men and women of law enforcement in your prayers as they work tirelessly and courageously to locate the suspect responsible for this senseless act. May they be granted strength, wisdom, protection, and resolve as they seek justice for their fallen brother.

Rest easy, Deputy Utt. Your watch may have ended, but your service, sacrifice, and legacy will never be forgotten.

📍 We will see you Friday on Main Street!

Today we had the pleasure of hosting our friends from Yadkin County Emergency Communications for a site visit here at Mount Airy Rescue Squad!

We were proud to welcome Supervisor Dylan Hutchens and Telecommunicator Jacob Williams to Mayberry. They came up to see how we operate in Surry County, from our day to day functions to the full scope of our capabilities and how our public safety system is structured. These kinds of visits are incredibly valuable because they give all of us the opportunity to learn, grow, and continue building stronger systems for the communities we serve.

One thing that always stands out in conversations like this is the importance of mutual aid. Did you know that we work alongside every county around us when needed or requested? Even the ones in Virginia! While those calls are not an everyday occurrence, when they do happen they are often high priority situations where teamwork, trust, and communication matter the most. That is where relationships like these make all the difference.

Strong relationships lead to stronger responses. When you know the people on the other end of the radio, when you have trained together, and built that mutual respect, the job gets done more efficiently and effectively. That is what brotherhood in public safety is all about.

We cannot say enough great things about what Yadkin County Emergency Communications is building. As the first point of contact for those dialing 911, they play a critical role in every emergency response. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to serving their community are evident in everything they do.

And of course, no visit to Mayberry would be complete without a stop at a local favorite. We made sure they got the full experience with a famous pork chop sandwich from Snappy Lunch!

Thank you all again for coming up and spending time with us. We appreciate the partnership, the friendships, and the shared mission of serving our communities at the highest level.

Welcome to Mayberry, and we look forward to having you back again soon!
