The City if NMB became a city in 1968 and all 4 towns came together to become North Myrtle Beach. The Fire Department ran out of 3 stations at that time. Cherry Grove, Windy Hill and the former city hall at 18th Ave. S. The present main station was built in 1972 and the Fire Department moved from the old city hall to the new station on Second Ave. At the old city hall location the Firefighters slept in the old jail cells while on duty.

The North Myrtle Beach Fire and Rescue Department has grown in number to five stations with over 140 full-time, volunteers and PSO's members serving a population of over 15,000.

North Myrtle Beach is located on the Atlantic Ocean along the Northeastern South Carolina coastal area known as the "Grand Strand". The City of North Myrtle Beach was chartered on May 7, 1968, as a result of the consolidation of four smaller beach communities, Ocean Drive Beach, Cherry Grove, Crescent Beach, and Windy Hill Beach. Nine pristine miles of beach and approximately 15 square miles of land define the City as a growing mix of permanent residential neighborhoods, beach homes, hotels, motels and multi-storied condominiums. Theaters, shopping centers, restaurants, city parks and other amusements serve a population estimated at 12,000 and growing with another 3.5 million annual visitors. North Myrtle Beach is known for the family atmosphere, fishing piers reaching into the Atlantic, wide sandy beaches, and championship golf courses as well as being centrally located to a very wide range of neighboring attractions and entertainment.
