This morning, our firefighters were out at Arabi Gin participating in a Cotton Gin Safety Roundtable hosted by AgriTrust of Georgia and Southeastern Cotton Ginners Association. Our personnel taught two classes, Fire Extinguishers and Stop the Bleed, to approximately 80-85 attendees. We appreciate everyone who worked to put this event together.

Yesterday afternoon, Crisp County Firefighters responded a residential structure fire on Culpepper Road. Upon arrival, firefighters found heavy smoke and fire. While the structure resulted in a loss, firefighters were able to recover several irreplaceable items for the homeowner. There were no injuries.

Thank you to all personnel that responded and to our partner agencies.

Did you know that fireworks cause thousands of injuries each year?

Burns account for 44% of the 9,100 injuries treated in emergency rooms seen in the month around July 4.

Sparklers account for roughly one-quarter of emergency room fireworks injuries.

Half of the fireworks injuries seen at emergency rooms were extremities: hand, finger, or leg. One-third were to the eye or other parts of the head.

Children ages 10–14 had the highest rate of fireworks injury, with more than one-third (36%) of the victims of fireworks injuries under age 15.

When using fireworks this 4th of July, please practice the following safety tips:

🎆Always read the labels and follow the directions for each specific type of firework
🎇Light fireworks outdoors and maintain a safe distance away from other people and fire hazards
🎆Never re-ignite malfunctioning fireworks
🎇Do not give fireworks to small children
🎆Avoid using illegal or homemade fireworks
🎇Have a garden hose or bucket of water nearby
🎆Submerge used and unused fireworks in water prior to discarding
🎇If injuries and damages do occur, call 911
🎆If you do not feel safe lighting your own fireworks, feel free to attend a public fireworks display

Have a safe and enjoyable 4th!
