This morning, Lowndes County Fire Rescue proudly joined the Valdosta Fire Department for the annual 9/11 Run through Downtown Valdosta.

We ran to honor and remember the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless lives forever changed.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸♥️🤍💙

Earlier this week we participated in Chick-fil-A at Lake Park Superhero Kids Night and had a blast!

Our firefighters had a great time hanging out with all of the little superheroes and being able to show them the firetruck, demonstrating some of the tools they carry, and explaining what they’re used for.

We love our community and being able to participate in events like these! 🚒♥️

Competing against firefighters from across Georgia, our crew gave it their all and showed exactly what teamwork and training can accomplish.

We are excited to announce that we've been awarded a grant of more than $32,000 from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation!

The grant will allow us to purchase new Hurst Jaws of Life spreaders, cutters, and accessories, strengthening our emergency response capabilities and enhancing firefighter safety during vehicle extrication and other time-critical rescue operations.

These modern tools will provide our firefighters with greater cutting and spreading capabilities, helping us reach patients more quickly when every second matters.

We are grateful to the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation for investing in the equipment and resources our firefighters need to serve the Lowndes County community.
