🎃 No spooky weather this Halloween! 👻
North and Central GA will see a mostly dry evening with only a few sprinkles around. Temps will be falling into the 60s for most. Breezy winds (up to 20mph) will keep those fallen leaves and loose decor rustling about.

🎃 Happy Halloween, Roswell!

Roswell Fire and Roswell Police teamed up with Atlanta News First to share how to keep tonight safe and fun:

🔦 Be seen. Glow sticks, flashlights, or reflective tape on every costume.

🚸 Use sidewalks and cross at corners.

🚗 Drivers, slow down in neighborhoods and put the phone away.

⏰ Clocks fall back tonight. Test your smoke alarms tomorrow.

Have fun out there, Roswell. We’ll be out there too. 💙❤️

Meet Lady. 🐾

On August 16, Roswell Fire crews rescued her from a house fire after her owner told a neighbor exactly where she hides when she's scared. Firefighters went straight to that spot, carried her out, and gave her oxygen with a pet oxygen mask.

This week, Lady visited Station 25 as we honored the crews from Stations 25 and 22 and accepted 12 pet oxygen mask kits from Invisible Fence Brand's Project Breathe program. Every frontline apparatus in Roswell will now carry one.

Pet owners: know where your pets hide, and share it with a trusted neighbor. It made all the difference for Lady.

Thank you, Invisible Fence Brand and VEG ER for Pets. ❤️

Great day of training at the Roswell-Alpharetta Public Safety Training Center with our partners from Sandy Springs Fire Department. Crews from both departments worked side by side on aerial operations, hose line deployment, and apparatus familiarization.

Fire doesn’t stop at city limits, and neither does our response. When we train together, we show up on scene ready to work as !

If you're smelling smoke or seeing haze in Roswell this evening, it's likely coming from a planned prescribed burn in the Abernathy/Macedonia area of Bartow County near Lake Allatoona. Park Rangers with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Bartow County Fire & Emergency Services conducted the burn today.

Smoke can settle in low areas overnight as temperatures drop, so you may notice it into tomorrow morning.

A few reminders:
✅ If you see flames, or smoke coming from a home, building, or nearby woods, call 911.
✅ If you have asthma or other breathing concerns, limit time outdoors and keep windows closed.
✅ Please avoid calling 911 just to report the smell of smoke.

Public Notice:
Park Rangers and Bartow County Fire & Emergency Services will be conducting a prescribed burn today in the Abernathy/Macedonia area of Bartow County.

Engine 22 had one job: pick the best chili.

Turns out that’s harder than it sounds when the people who made it are standing right there watching. Our crew handled it like pros. Multiple samples. Careful deliberation. Second helpings, purely for accuracy.

Thanks to Roswell Assembly of God for having us. Our crew will gladly come back for a rematch.

🔥 Fire Safety Tip: Chili can simmer for hours. You can’t leave it for hours. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of home cooking fires, so stay in the kitchen while the stove is on. If a pot catches fire, slide a lid over it and turn off the heat. Never use water on a grease fire.

Thank you to the Roswell Rotary Club for hosting Farm Day 2026! Our firefighters and their families, along with our partners at Roswell Police Department, spent a beautiful fall day enjoying great food, hay rides, gold panning, pumpkin and birdhouse painting, and side by side rides.

Days like this mean a lot to our crews and the families who support them. Thank you to every Rotarian who made it happen. We’re grateful for a community that shows up for its first responders.
