4 more Houston County firefighters headed to South GA. The current crew we sent to Clinch County was relocated to the Brantley County Fire and have put in some amazing work but now it’s time for them to come home and get some much needed rest. Captain Burton and Firefighters Marcy, Mixon, and Rice will relieve them later tonight and take over.

A special thanks to Department Chaplain Alan Smith for joining us this afternoon to say a prayer over them prior to deployment!

Please continue to keep all the firefighters down there in your prayers along with all the families affected by these fires.
