🔥 National Wildland Firefighter Week of Remembrance

This week, we pause to honor the wildland firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others.

Wildland firefighting is more than a job—it's a calling that demands courage, selflessness, and an unwavering commitment to protecting lives, communities, and natural resources. Every time a crew steps onto the fireline, they do so knowing the risks, driven by a desire to serve.

Here in Georgia and across the nation, we remember those who never made it home, stand with the families and crews who carry their memory forward, and thank every wildland firefighter who continues to answer the call.

To our own Georgia Forestry Commission firefighters, our local, state, federal, and volunteer partners, and every member of the wildland fire community: thank you for your dedication, your sacrifice, and your service.

We also encourage you to read this thoughtful reflection from the Southern Group of State Foresters on the importance of remembrance, grief, and supporting the wildland fire community:
