Last month, FF Taylor and SGT Edwards successfully completed the Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Course.

Attending this course demonstrates their desires to stay on the forefront of tactical medicine and to continue honing their skills as Firefighters and medical care providers! Great job.

Recently, Engine 10 and Metro EMS unit 805 on our C-shift, responded to the report of a medical emergency. Mrs. Johnson, who is pictured above, found her husband collapsed in their yard while doing yard work.

Excellent medical care was provided by all of the pictured personnel. Her husband is at home and recovering well.

What really stood out to Mrs. Johnson, is that as Metro 805 was transporting her husband, Engine 10’s crew remained on the scene and finished raking the leaves in the yard and cleaning up his tools. They went above and beyond! Great work.

Thank you for visiting with us! It is our honor to serve and protect our Paulding County.

Yesterday morning, our recruits crossed the line between training and becoming Probationary Firefighters.

Our recruit class finished a simulation of a real 24-hour shift, filled with events reflecting a typical day in the fire service. Their final challenge came after very little sleep - awakened to an unknown assignment, each recruit had to complete an individual victim search across three divisions.

On the other side stood their instructors and classmates, ready to embrace them. Then came the ceremonial burning of their recruit uniform shift and the donning of the Firefighter shirt—a moment commemorating everything they had worked to become.

Soon to be Probationary Firefighter Shaw is pictured here, but this photograph tells a story for every recruit in this class. The exhaustion. The relief. The pride. Everything it took to reach this moment.

I had the honor of standing there when it happened, and I had a hard time holding back my own tears. Pride, joy, memories of my own journey—all of it came together.

To our newest Probationary Firefighters: You earned this. I hope you carry the meaning of this morning with you throughout your careers.

I am proud of every one of you!

—Assistant Chief Brandon Maple

A first for Paulding County Fire & Rescue!

Congratulations to Lt. Logan Pilgrim and Firefighter/Paramedic Cheyenne Harper on successfully completing the SOARescue Tactical Medical Practitioner (TMP) Program—the first PCFR personnel to achieve this accomplishment.

Throughout the demanding 82-hour course, they demonstrated their ability to apply Tactical Emergency Casualty Care guidelines in simulated high-threat environments. This specialized training strengthens their ability to provide lifesaving care under challenging conditions.

Thank you both for your dedication to serving and protecting our community. Job well done!

Paulding County Fire & Rescue welcomed its new Air & Light truck yesterday with a traditional push-in ceremony, marking an important investment in firefighter safety and emergency response for our community.

While fire engines carry the water and equipment needed to fight a fire, an Air & Light truck provides critical support that helps firefighters continue working safely during lengthy and demanding emergencies. Firefighters depend on self-contained breathing apparatus to work in smoke-filled and hazardous environments. Their air supply is limited, and cylinders must be replaced as crews continue operating.

The new truck provides breathing-air support at the scene, helping keep crews equipped and ready to return to work when needed. Scene lighting is equally important. Emergencies do not stop when the sun goes down. At nighttime fires, vehicle crashes, and other incidents, powerful lighting helps responders see hazards, operate equipment, and care for patients. Better visibility supports safer working conditions for firefighters and other emergency personnel.

Chief Garrett Brubaker commented,
“For Paulding County residents and businesses, the value is practical - sustained support for crews protecting their homes, helping their families, and responding during some of their most difficult moments. Bringing these resources directly to an emergency scene helps firefighters maintain during complex or extended emergencies.”

The push-in ceremony recognized both the arrival of the new apparatus and the teamwork behind bringing it into service. Paulding County Fire & Rescue thanks the citizens of Paulding County, the Board of Commissioners, and the department’s Apparatus and Equipment committees for supporting this addition to the fleet.

Air & Light is housed at Station 3, Mt Tabor Church Road and will be staffed 24/7/365.

Only a couple weeks left for our recruits!

Last week was highlighted by vehicle extrication class and a family day, where the recruits were able to have their families come to our training center and watch a few drills and learn how things operate! This was a great time.

12 Paulding recruits and 1 Haralson recruit remain. The finish line is in sight.
