This morning, just after 4am, units were dispatched to a structure fire on Harlem Street. Units arrived to find smoke and fire coming from the back of the house. All occupants had evacuated prior to our arrival. Rescue 22 performed a primary search and rescued one cat from the house. Engine 1, Engine 2, Truck 13, and Rescue 21 performed fire attack operations and kept the fire contained to one room of the structure. The fire marshal’s office is investigating the cause. One occupant was treated for smoke inhalation. 
Have you checked your smoke alarms lately?

This weekend, we were honored to receive one thousand bottles of water from a group of high school seniors from Enterprise High School on behalf of Project Pulmonary. Project Pulmonary is a non-profit started by these students to provide hydration supplies to first responders! They have delivered these items to several departments across the state over the last few months. These kids are amazing and have such servant hearts! Thank you again Jaiden, Bruce, Iris, Jaden, and Zoey!
Side note: Some of this water was used to help rehab our firefighters during the structure fire yesterday .

We were proud to present Captain Zach Gibbons with the Medal of Bravery at tonight’s council meeting.
On June 11, 2026 while off duty and teaching a water rescue class through the Alabama Fire College, Captain Gibbons noticed a civilian struggling to stay afloat while swimming at Lake Martin. Captain Gibbons and his fellow instructor quickly swam towards the male who was struggling to keep his head above water. After providing verbal commands to the victim, they secured the male under the arms and helped protect his airway. They calmed and reassured the male that he was going to be OK, and swam him to shore where he was evaluated. The patient, was extremely fatigued but was very grateful for the rescue.
We teach our firefighters about the unpredictability of swimmers in distress. Many times, near-drowning victims exhibit unpredictable and combative behavior due to fear of going underwater. On this day, with limited rescue equipment, Captain Gibbons relied on his training and exhibited extraordinary courage even though this situation involved substantial personal risk.
We are extremely proud of Captain Gibbons and are so proud when our personnel use their training and skills to impact lives.
