Cobb County, stay weather aware as we head into the weekend!

A Flood Watch is in effect from Friday night through Sunday morning, with heavy rain and prolonged gusty winds from Isaias expected across our area.

Heavy rain may cause flash flooding, while strong winds could bring down trees and power lines.

Take a few minutes today to prepare by:
• Securing loose outdoor items.
• Charging your devices and having flashlights ready.
• Having multiple ways to receive weather alerts, including overnight.
• Stay away from downed power lines.
• Remember to never drive through flooded roads or around barricades.

Monitor the weather, a good resource is US National Weather Service Peachtree City Georgia or any local news station, and be ready to adjust any outdoor plans.

Stay safe and weather aware Cobb County!

🌧 Thursday Evening Update: In addition to long-duration strong winds, Hurricane will bring heavy rainfall from late Friday through early Sunday. Flash flooding and quick rises on rivers, creeks, and streams will be possibilities where the heaviest/most persistent rain occurs.

When the VEG ER for Pets received a dog delivering 15 puppies, the veterinarians knew they needed more helping hands. They called our crew at Station 21 to come help, since the veterinarians had just taught them pet CPR training the week before. Firefighter Powell, Engineer Newman, and Engineer Whitehead rushed to help out the Vet ER that helped them. As the puppies were born, our firefighters helped by removing their amniotic sacs, clearing their airways, delivering any necessary drugs, and warming them up. Without their help, many of the puppies wouldn’t have made it.

Weeks later, the firefighters had the opportunity to reunite with the puppies. Engineer Newman even adopted one of the puppies for his daughter.
While this is certainly an atypical incident for the fire department, we welcomed the opportunity to give back to the community.

We are proud to have had several members of our department honored at this week’s South Cobb Business Association Public Safety Appreciation Luncheon.

Ellen Summers was recognized for her contributions at the Cobb County Safety Village, especially with her work supporting our smoke and carbon monoxide alarm program.

Engineer Baker, Engineer Prouix, and Firefighter Mabry were honored for their lifesaving efforts in Indianapolis earlier this year. While there for a training conference, they helped a shooting victim when visiting a local White Castle.

The luncheon also included a public safety panel, with Deputy Chief Crumbley representing Cobb Fire alongside representatives from Cobb County Police, Austell Police, and the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office.

Please join us in congratulating our honorees! Thank you for serving ourCobb County community with care and representing our department so well.

Also, thank you to South Cobb Business Association for hosting a wonderful luncheon!

Engineer Newman might just win the award for best dad ever! Not only did he work with his crew to deliver over a dozen puppies, but he let his daughter bring one home.
The crew at Station 21 helped VEG ER for Pets with the delivery, providing extra hands to stimulate and warm the newborn puppies. Newman, along with Firefighter Powell and Engineer Whitehead, will never forget this once-in-a-career call.

We were honored to attend Cobb Chamber’s Public Safety Awards today and celebrate our public safety community.

Our C Shift crews from Engine 2, Engine 7, Squad 7, Rescue 30, Battalion 2, and MedOps were nominated for their response to a February apartment fire, rescuing trapped residents and coordinating evacuations and emergency care under dangerous conditions.

We’re proud of these crews and their commitment to protecting our Cobb County community.

Congratulations to all of today’s nominees and the award recipients!

Last week, we hosted Alabama Task Force 1 at the Cobb Fire Training Center. Our facilities helped the Rescue K9's complete annual Rope Refresher Training. Two of our own firefighters, Diaz Leis and Apple, work with AL-TF1 and train their K9s for disaster response. The dogs showed great bravery as they were suspended at the top of our 5-story high-rise tower. With this practice, the K9s can go anywhere that help is needed.
