Emergency management is not a solo job.

Long before an incident occurs, emergency managers are getting to know the people they may one day need beside them. That can mean working with public safety, healthcare, government agencies, businesses, nonprofits, schools, and many others, building the trust and understanding that make it easier to work together when something goes wrong.

When that moment comes, those relationships matter. People need to share information, coordinate resources, and make decisions together, often as circumstances change by the minute. The goal is to bring different expertise and resources together so everyone can do their part. This work also continues after the immediate response. Partners may stay connected as communities recover, address their next needs, and begin rebuilding.

Bringing different people, knowledge, and resources together makes it possible to tackle challenges that no one organization could handle alone. No one person can do it all. Emergency management works successfully because people show up for one another.

We don't typically post about incident response but this is different.

Yesterday evening, City of Jesup Fire Department A-Shift members responded to a working fire at an industrial site. The initial response brought the fire under control in approximately 15 minutes, but that's not the whole story.

Due to the size of the buiding (over 150,000 square feet), the ventilation fans we carry proved to be ineffective at removing smoke from the structure. Thinking outside of the box, contact was made with 2 local airboat owners who graciously agreed to support our operation. Not long after both airboats arrived, this tactic proved successful in clearing the building.

Great job A-Shift on having an aggressive mindset and mitigating this quickly.

Thank you to all other agencies that came to assist; but most importantly to those community members who heeded the call when needed.

⚠️ Road Work Update: Cherry Street Resurfacing

Update: Resurfacing work has now continued onto E. Cherry Street.
As previously noted, work is primarily taking place during nighttime hours to minimize traffic impacts. However, weather-related delays may require crews to continue working into the morning hours.

Resurfacing work will continue along both W. Cherry Street and E. Cherry Street until the project is complete.

If you are traveling through the area, please expect minor delays, use caution, and watch for workers and equipment.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as this project continues. Thank you for helping us keep work crews safe!
