🔥🌾 TO***CO BARN SEASON IS HERE! 🌾🔥

🙅Do not call 911 for white smoke

🚒 Call 911 if:

* You see excessive black smoke.
* Flames are outside the normal firing area.
* Smoke or flames are spreading or out of control.

**Smoke is expected during firing**, but excessive black smoke or flames outside the normal firing area may signal an emergency.

When in doubt, call it out! It’s better for firefighters to respond early than arrive too late.

Have a safe to***co season from Stewart County Fire Rescue! 🚒❤️

After 43 years of dedicated service, Deputy Chief Jimmy Luffman has officially entered retirement. (However, we won’t let him fully retire haha). Jimmy began is career with the Dover-Stewart County Rescue Squad back in the early 1980s, serving in many capacities from rescue technician all the way up to Captain. When the merger happened with Stewart County Fire Service, the two organizations became what is Stewart County Fire Rescue today. Jimmy rose to the rank of Deputy Chief of Personnel (Chief 3). Jimmy has been a staple and legend of SCFR. In countless emergencies, he was the voice of reason and brought comfort, compassion, and security to those he served. His leadership and passion for the citizens of Stewart County and the members of SCFR is unmatched.
If you see Deputy Chief Luffman, congratulate him on his well-earned retirement. 🔥
