Do you have a fire extinguisher in your home?

If you do, do you have the right type?
Or do you know which one to get?

For most homes, a multi-purpose ABC fire extinguisher is a good choice. It can be used on common fires involving ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and energized electrical equipment.

When choosing one, look for:

ABC rating for general household use

A location that is easy to access

A gauge showing it is properly charged

Remember: Only attempt to extinguish a small, contained fire if you have a clear exit behind you and feel confident using the extinguisher. If the fire is spreading or conditions become unsafe, get out and call 911.

A little preparation can make a big difference.

Join us for a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony on Friday, September 11 at 10:00am as we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and recognize the courage and sacrifice of first responders. The ceremony will feature a keynote address by District 3 Commissioner Jasper Watkins III, who assisted in the placement of wounded personnel during the attacks on the Pentagon that day.

All are welcome as we gather to remember, reflect, and honor those who served. The ceremony will be held at the Fallen Heroes Memorial, located on the grounds of the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville.

If you’re unable to attend in person, you can join virtually on Facebook Live.

The call comes in.
You grab your gear.
And someone is counting on you.

As a Firemedic, you’re more than a first responder. You’re the person providing care, making critical decisions, and helping people through some of their toughest moments.

No two calls are the same. No two days are the same. But every day, you have the opportunity to help someone when they need it most.

Ready to answer the call?

We pay for your experience.

Join our team as a Firemedic.

Ever wonder what firefighters are spraying during certain training exercises?

These firefighters are foam training. Crews practice using foam to help control and suppress certain types of fires, while building the skills and coordination needed during an emergency.

It’s another part of the hands-on training that keeps our crews prepared when the call comes in.

Practice today. Ready tomorrow.

When someone’s heart stops, every second counts. Knowing what to do and having the confidence to act can make all the difference.

Join us for our next Hands-Only CPR class on September 28 and learn simple, lifesaving skills you can use in an emergency.

Spots are limited! Sign up and learn how to recognize a cardiac emergency and perform Hands-Only CPR while waiting for first responders to arrive.

You don’t have to be a firefighter or medical professional to help save a life. You just have to know what to do.

Participants must be 14 years or older. This class is for educational participation and does not provide CPR certification.

Sign up today at GwinnetCounty.com/CPRClasses.

Before the burgers and hot dogs hit the grill, check what is around it.

Move your grill away from the house, deck railings, overhanging branches, and anything else that can catch fire. Keep children and pets away from the cooking area, too.

One quick check can help keep your Labor Day weekend from going up in smoke.
