Nahunta Fire and Rescue

05/26/2026

Life is heavy enough on its own, add the traumas, tragedies, loss of life and property, sadness, loneliness, depression and much more to it by being a firefighter and/or emt/medic and it can weigh on all of us.
Remember, you are not alone!
We are here.
Our Department Chaplain is here.
Our County Chaplain is here.
And we need you, here with us.
Reach out to any of us, we are here checking in, ready to support and encourage you when needed.

Just because it’s a “normal” day at the office
doesn’t mean it’s not heavy.

You’re allowed to feel it.
You’re allowed to talk about it.
And it’s okay to ask for help when you need it. 💛

A critical part of the firefighting efforts over the last couple of weeks was refilling the air tankers. Many were filled at the Airport, like this one being filled by Lt. Bennett with Engine 10, while others were filled at ponds throughout the area.

Monday, May 4:

🔥Long durations of critically low humidity values are expected throughout inland portions of southeast Georgia and the Suwannee Valley this afternoon.

⚠️ These low humidity values, in combination with ongoing drought conditions, could cause new or existing wildfires to quickly spread.

🍂 Wildfire Safety Tip - Maintain a Defensible Space: Clear area near your home of leaves, dead vegetation & other combustible debris to reduce sources of fuel. Keep vehicles off of dry grass.
