Please keep one of our own, CSFD member Brendan Jones, and his crew from Cherokee County Fire, in your thoughts and prayers as they are currently deployed to South Georgia assisting with the ongoing wildfires.
Let’s come together as a community and lift them up for strength, safety, and a safe return home.
Stay safe, Brennan.
When communities across Georgia face devastating wildfires, we step forward because service does not stop at county lines.
Today, Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services deployed four personnel and an engine to South Georgia to assist with ongoing wildfire suppression efforts. The deployment was made through the Georgia Mutual Aid Group (GMAG), which coordinates resources across the state during large scale emergencies.
Our crew departed Sunday afternoon and will support firefighting operations in areas where wildfires have burned tens of thousands of acres and forced evacuations.
While our personnel are assisting in South Georgia, Cherokee County remains fully staffed and ready to respond to emergencies at home.
We stand with the communities impacted and with every responder working to protect lives and property.
