City of Decatur Fire Rescue

Last week we had a visit from a future fire chief and her sister, and their family was kind enough to share these pictures with us!

Happy Juneteenth from Decatur Fire

A big shout out to Moonrise, another Decatur business keeping the community safer by having their staff trained in CPR by our firefighters!

Congratulations Captain Storey (third from left), our latest Leadership Dekalb graduate! Captain Storey was always returning from his sessions commenting on how moving and enlightening they were, so we know he learned a lot throughout the journey!

Today our own Lt. Hutley made us all proud as he spoke at the City's Juneteenth event with these and other great presenters!

Just in time for summer, our friends at FEMA have sent us these extreme heat preparation guides for kids! If you're interested in one, stop by Station 1 and pick one up!

We really appreciated the great turnout for our Narcan training event at Legacy Park with Decatur prevention initiative! Congratulations to the attendees who won the Narcan and challenge coin! Also a sincere thank you to everyone for helping to put up the chairs, that was above and beyond!

Throughout the summer, we will have one of our vehicles parked in front of station one featuring this digital thermometer with a probe inside the car. As you pass the station, take a moment to notice why animals and children can never be left in a car for ANY amount of time.

We had a great CPR class at The Artisan today, thanks to a group of residents who reached out to us to make sure they were trained to respond in the event of a cardiac arrest!

We still have a few spots open for our free fire camp for young women aged 14 to 18 on the 23rd! just scan the QR code for details and come join us for a day as a firefighter!

also, scan the code for information about how to join us on the 22nd for a free demonstration for all ages!

When Sergeant Bussey is off duty, she stays in top firefighting shape by lifting trees in the forest. This is a rest day so she’s going a little bit lighter.

The STAR Afterschool Program Leadership in Training team had a looooong day of CPR and first aid today...we were shocked to find out how much they'd learned from watching Grey's Anatomy🤣

Who is coming out to see tonight? We’ll be there on EMS duty!

These are some great opportunities coming up in June! The first day is a demonstration featuring female firefighters where anyone can observe, followed by a day of Fire camp for high school aged girls residing in Dekalb Counts.
