Last night around 11:30pm, the Fairfax Fire Department was dispatched to North Fairfax for the report of a large fire that could be seen from the interstate.
Car 1, Engine 1, and Tanker 1 responded to the area. Georgia Fire Department was requested as mutual aid to assist with access to the fire from the interstate. A large unpermitted and unattended brush fire was found in the woods and extinguished.
Burn permits in Fairfax are required to burn brush. Please call the fire station during business hours to obtain one. If you leave a message, we will return your call. Leaving a message does not grant a burn permit.

Over the last two training nights our members worked on a number of training topics. We had groups continue training on pumping with Engine 1, while others went to a training house in Milton to work on rapid intervention and advancing hoselines. A rapid intervention team (RIT) is a team of firefighters that would be sent into a building fire to rescue an injured firefighter.
We would like to thank Milton Fire Department for giving us the opportunity to train in their building. Training in an acquired building doesn't happen everyday, so we truly appreciate when we have the opportunity to do so.

Today's fire danger forecast issued by the state is high. The predicted fire danger has been elevated to moderate or above since Wednesday of last week. Due to this, burn permits will not be issued until the fire danger forecast comes down. Yeasterday alone there were a number of brush fires in the area, including one here in Fairfax.
