🚫 Annual Summer Burn Ban Begins May 1

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division’s annual summer burn ban goes into effect tomorrow for 54 counties, primarily in and around metro Atlanta.

This seasonal ban is in place each year to help protect air quality during the summer months and will remain in effect through October 1.

⚠️ What this means:
➡️ Open burning is not permitted in the affected counties during this time
➡️ The ban is separate from current wildfire-related restrictions in other parts of the state

If you live in or near metro Atlanta, be sure to check if your county is included and plan accordingly.

We are proud to say that we share one of these individuals with Cobb County Fire. TJ Proulx has recently joined our team as a part-time firefighter. He was in town as an instructor for a fire department conference and found himself in the right place at the right time. Thank you, TJ, for your service and willingness to act in the face of danger.

Three firefighters in town for a conference stepped in when gunfire erupted at a downtown Indy White Castle early Sunday morning.
