Congratulations to the spring EMT Basic class. Over the past 12 weeks we’ve had trauma scenarios that went completely sideways, awkward patient assessments, questionable bandaging techniques, and enough “BSI, scene safe” repetitions to haunt all of us forever.

But behind the laughs and chaos, I’ve watched this group grow into future providers who genuinely care about people. They’ve learned how to stay calm under pressure, work as a team, and push through even when things got tough.

I’m proud of every single one of you for making it to graduation. You came in nervous and unsure, and now you’re leaving with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to make a difference in someone’s worst day.

Now go pass Registry…

🔥 Public Safety Announcement: Winter Fire and Life Safety

As colder weather continues, Sevier County Fire-Rescue reminds residents to take extra precautions to stay warm while preventing fires, carbon monoxide exposure, and other winter-related hazards. Many winter fires and injuries are preventable by following a few important safety practices.

🔌 Heating Safety
• Keep portable heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn, including furniture, curtains, bedding, and clothing
• Never leave space heaters unattended or operating while sleeping
• Plug heaters directly into wall outlets. Never use extension cords or power strips
• Turn heaters off when leaving the room or home
• Use only heating devices with automatic shut-off and tip-over protection

☠️ Carbon Monoxide Safety
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly.
• Install CO alarms on every level of your home and near sleeping areas
• Never use generators, grills, camp stoves, or propane heaters inside your home, garage, or near windows or doors
• Never use your oven or stovetop to heat your home
• If a CO alarm sounds or you experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, or confusion, leave immediately and call 911

🔥 Fireplace and Chimney Safety
• Have fireplaces, wood stoves, and chimneys inspected and cleaned annually by a qualified professional
• Use a sturdy screen to prevent sparks from escaping
• Never leave a fire unattended
• Allow ashes to cool completely and place them in a metal container stored away from the home

🕯️ Candle Safety
• Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything that can burn
• Never leave candles unattended or burning while sleeping
• Place candles on stable, heat-resistant surfaces
• Keep candles out of reach of children and pets
• Consider using battery-operated flameless candles as a safer alternative

❄️ Winter Weather Preparedness
Be prepared for power outages and winter storms by keeping:
• Flashlights and extra batteries
• A charged cell phone or backup power source
• Extra blankets and warm clothing

Avoid using open flames or heating appliances not designed for indoor use. Keep emergency numbers readily available.

🚒 In Case of Emergency
If you experience a fire, smell gas, or suspect carbon monoxide exposure, leave the building immediately and call 911 from a safe location.

The members of Sevier County Fire-Rescue encourage everyone to take these precautions seriously to protect lives, homes, and families throughout the winter season. A few simple steps can prevent tragedy.

Stay warm. Stay safe.

Blount County deputy killed in car crash while on duty

Blount County, Tennessee – Blount County Sheriff James Lee Berrong is saddened to announce that BCSO Deputy Justin Mowery was killed in the line of duty in a car crash while working his patrol shift late this afternoon.

“I am heartbroken. This is devastating for his family, his shift-mates, this agency, and our community,” Sheriff Berrong said. “We appreciate the swift response of the Tennessee Highway Patrol, and together we are working to determine how the accident happened. We are also thankful for the response from all of the surrounding law enforcement agencies as well as the offers for assistance from agencies across the state.”

Deputy Mowery was 30 years old. After serving as a security officer at University of Tennessee Medical Center, he pursued his desire to become a deputy sheriff with Blount County. He began his career at the BCSO in May 2020 and attended the BCSO Regional Training Academy, graduating from Class 021 in October 2020. He was assigned to evening shift as a Patrol Deputy. In December 2021, he earned a coveted spot on the Sheriff’s SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team and continued to serve until his death.

“Please pray for Deputy Mowery’s family, and pray for our deputies,” Sheriff Berrong said.
