Last week crews participated in fire safety and prevention week. Here we have staff from 6 C giving knowledge and a demonstration of gear as well as a tour of the trucks. Rain didn’t stop these guys from learning, nor should it for anyone.

Parents, it’s important to have a plan of action. Sit down with your kids, make a map and discuss that map/plan if a fire or emergency ever happens with your loved ones.

A day of remembrance for one of our own, one who will never be forgotten.

Today, we mark the anniversary of the line-of-duty death of Lieutenant Brad Clark, who was tragically struck and killed while working on Interstate 295 during Hurricane Michael in 2018.

Brad’s sacrifice helped lead to stronger penalties under the state’s Move Over Law. His wife, Melanie, continues to honor his memory by sharing his story and educating the public about the importance of moving over and slowing down for emergency workers.

We remember Brad, honor his service, and stand with his family and all who loved him. Let his story remind us that moving over and slowing down can save lives.
