The members of the Lions Club voted to establish a Fire Department. Each member contributed; an amount from the club's treasury was used for beginning capital. The Lion's Club also voted to build the building and buy the equipment. It would then be turned over to the Board of Directors elected by the people of the community. Members of the club personally contacted each household and business within a four-mile radius. They found both the community and the businesses to be in favor of the causes and they were generous with their contributions.

A lot was leased from the Alexander County Railroad and a building was started. Two new trucks were purchased locally and delivered to American LaFrance, which built the equipment for the trucks. In January 1957, the Board of Directors was elected and their first meeting was held. Max Crouch was elected President. Other officers elected were Knox Rimmer, Fire Chief; Homer Goode, Assistant Chief; Lehman Keen, Treasurer; Hulette Norton, Secretary.
In March, twenty firemen were accepted by the Board to begin training. A gift of a Cadillac Ambulance was received from Adams Funeral Home to be used by the Fire Department. It was used until 1961 when its use was discontinued due to obsolescence.

By July 1957, the Fire Department was experiencing financial difficulties. The firemen began raising money themselves to pay local operating expenses. This continued for several years. The treasurer's report for July 1961 showed a balance of .35 in the department's account.
Homer Goode left Stony Point in the summer of 1958 and was replaced as Assistant Chief by Hulette Norton. The Board of Directors was reduced from a membership of fifteen members to a membership of six. Knox Rimmer, who had moved out of the district, resigned as Chief and was replaced by Hulette Norton. Fred White was elected Assistant Chief. An effort was started to recruit new firemen. Several new firemen were received and training began.

About this time, a new Jeep with a water tank and pump was purchased and put into service to better control off-road fires. In the late 1960's, a countywide radio communications system was implemented. It has since expanded to cover both Alexander and Iredell counties.

In October 1973, Hulette Norton resigned as Chief. Carlton Crouch became Chief and Tommy Cockrell as Assistant Chief. To receive a Class A Rural Classification, a new 750 GPM Pumper Truck was needed. The decision was made in December of 1975 to make the purchase. In June 1976, bids were received for the purchase of a new Ward LaFrance Fire Apparatus. A new stall to house the truck was then added to the station with donated labor, and the truck was delivered in mid-year 1978.

In January 1988, Carlton Crouch retired as Fire Chief. Dale Price assumed the chief's position with Tommy Cockrell remaining Assistant Chief. In November of 1988, a new 1000 GPM pumper/tanker was ordered. The new truck was delivered on November 21, 1989. In June of 1990, the land and building beside the fire department was purchased from the Alexander County Railroad, and the station was remodeled. On September 12, 1990, a chassis was purchased and the bed of another truck was used to make a brush vehicle.

In late 1997, Dale Price resigned as Fire Chief, and Steve Lackey was appointed Chief. Randy Dellinger was appointed Deputy Chief and Tommy Cockrell continued as Assistant Chief. The department also received a new brush truck. In early 1998, the department received a new pumper/tanker with a 1500 GPM pump.

Tommy Cockrell served as Assistant Chief until 2004 and it was at this time that Scotty Abernathy was promoted Assistant Chief.

On January 24th,2006 the board of directors, firefighters, and county commissions broke ground on a new six-bay addition to the department. 

The women of the firefighters in the department saw a need for an auxiliary for rehab on the scene of the incidents and in 2006 the Ladies Auxiliary was founded in March 2006. In the year 2008, the department received the E. Rhodes and Leona B. (ER) Carpenter grant and purchased a 2008 Ford F-250 to be used as a medical responder quick response vehicle as well as an auxiliary response vehicle.

At the annual board meeting held on February 1st, 2009 Scotty Abernathy was appointed as Fire Chief by the board of directors and promoted Chad Cockrell to Assistant Chief. Deputy Chief Randy Dellinger remained in office until retirement at the end of 2012.

With call volume increasing and to help the citizens in the community with a lower insurance rating, members of the department went out to the southeastern part of the district and obtained signatures of citizens interested in supporting the department’s need for a substation. With the overwhelming support of the community and gracious land donation by Danny Jones who later became a member of the department, the board of directors approved the funding for a substation to be built just south of the Drumstand Rd and Paul Payne Store Rd intersection. Stony Point Station 2 was built and an open house was held on December 6th, 2009 where the department moved an engine, tanker, and brush truck to respond out of this station.

Today the community has a well-equipped, efficient Fire Department supported by a Fire District tax and thirty-eight firemen. These firefighters continue to contribute much time and energy to protect the lives and property in this Fire District.
Through these many years, from its organization to the present, many community members have supported and served as volunteers. We are extremely proud of everyone.
