A picture is worth a thousand words. We always emphasize the importance of closing your bedroom doors when you go to sleep. Even these cheap six panel hollow core doors will buy you time in a fire. Look at how no smoke or heat made it into the bedroom. Now look in the hallway! Also look where the most damage is… Up high. This is why we preach to get down low if you have smoke or fire in your home. Practice that home escape plan and Close Before You Doze!!!!

Just a quick reference and reminder chart on the dangers of being out it the unbearable heat that we are experiencing this week!

Chemistry starts in the academy, moves to the stations and culminates on the streets. It's amazing how a group of people with a common goal and similar values still manage to form groups of like minded individuals.

A station has it's own identity, a group as well, and a company especially so. It's subtle personality traits that to an outside observer go unnoticed, but to those of us spending time with one another are blatantly obvious.

Ladder company members act one way, Engine company people another and the EMS crews are a different breed altogether.

It takes some time, but eventually things get shaken up, bids get made, people get shacked and transfers happen. The athletes end up here, the party people there, members preparing for promotional exams group together and even the misfits form their own group.

Different people coming together, and making it work when a job needs all of us is one of those indescribable things about the fire service that make it so different from anything I have ever done.

We watch out for each other, insult each other, complain about each other, fight with each other and would die for each other.

We have one thing in common; the job. The job brings us together, and we become a formidable force sharing a common goal. Personalities don't matter when the tones go off and the gear goes on. Then, we are one.

Then, we are one.

Please join us supporting a brother in his time of need!

Dekalb County Professional Firefighters have put together a fundraiser to benefit Dekalb Firefighter Frank Barker who is recovering from significant burn injures received battling a house fire earlier this year.

If you don't know him, Frank is a veteran with multiple tours in Iraq. He's also a husband and father to a beautiful family of 4 kids with one on the way. Frank, a DeKalb County Firefighter at Station 11 in Stone Mountain, suffered third-degree burns to his neck, back, and hands. Frank continues to be in great spirits and has a tremendously positive attitude.

Event is July 29th from 1-5pm at the Tucker Brewing Company. Raffle to include Leather Helmets and Halligans!

PLEASE be extra vigilant in the coming days with the soaring heat and associated heat indices! Seek shade and hydrate! And then hydrate some more!
* Please keep car doors locked so little ones can't get in and get stuck. (A good idea is to teach kids to blast the car horn if they get stuck in a car)
* Keep extra fresh water out for animals (even those in the shade)
* If you must work outside, take FREQUENT breaks and hydrate and cool.
* Check on your elderly neighbors
