❤️🚒 A Heartfelt Thank You 🚒❤️

The Egypt Volunteer Fire Department would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Gadsden LIONS CLUB for their generous donation of stuffed animals.

These special gifts will be kept on our trucks and used to comfort children during emergencies—helping bring a little peace and reassurance during what can be a very scary time. 🧸

🚨 Winter Storm Preparedness Reminder ❄️

With winter weather approaching, now is the time to prepare and stay safe. The Egypt Volunteer Fire Department encourages everyone to take a few simple steps:

✔️ Check heating sources and use space heaters safely
✔️ Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
✔️ Keep extra blankets, flashlights, batteries, and non-perishable food on hand
✔️ Protect exposed pipes and allow faucets to drip during extreme cold
✔️ If you must travel, slow down and watch for icy roads

Please remember—only call 911 for emergencies so responders can assist those in immediate need.

Stay warm, stay safe, and look out for one another. We’re proud to serve our community!

To date, the class has completed 120 hours of training and will now move on to the final module, Hazardous Materials A/O.

Egypt Fire Department would like to extend its appreciation to Tim McKee (Rainbow City FD), Dan Campbell (Gallant FD), and Kevin Cline (Mountainboro FD) for serving as proctors for the final JPRs.
