Wrens Fire Rescue is proud of the strong mutual aid partnership we share with Avera Fire & Rescue. Incidents like this demonstrate exactly why cooperation, communication, and strong working relationships between neighboring departments are so important.

When an emergency occurs, department boundaries take a back seat to a common mission: protecting lives and serving our communities. The close coordination between Avera Fire & Rescue and Wrens Fire Rescue allowed personnel from both departments to work together seamlessly to stabilize the vehicle, care for the patient, and complete a safe extrication.

We are extremely fortunate to have neighboring departments that can depend on one another when additional personnel, equipment, or specialized resources are needed. The relationship between Avera and Wrens has been built through mutual respect, frequent communication, training, and responding alongside one another—and that teamwork was on full display during this incident.

Wrens Fire Rescue would also like to recognize and thank Warren County EMS, AirCare, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, and the Georgia State Patrol for their professionalism and assistance. Successful emergency operations require many agencies working toward the same goal, and we appreciate every responder who played a part in bringing this incident to a successful conclusion.

We are proud to serve alongside our brothers and sisters at Avera Fire & Rescue and all of our public safety partners.

Wrens Fire Rescue is closely monitoring the progress of Tropical Storm Arthur as it moves toward our region. Current forecasts indicate the potential for impacts across Jefferson County beginning late Thursday and continuing into Friday.

Residents should prepare for the possibility of:

🌧️ Heavy Rainfall
🌊 Localized Flooding and Ponding of Waterways
💨 Strong Wind Gusts
🌳 Downed Trees and Power Lines
⚡ Power Outages
🌪️ Isolated Severe Weather

Now is the time to review your emergency plans and make preparations before weather conditions deteriorate. Charge electronic devices, secure loose outdoor items, ensure flashlights and batteries are readily available, and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain or severe weather.

Wrens Fire Rescue personnel are actively monitoring weather conditions and coordinating with our public safety partners across Jefferson County. We remain in close communication with local fire departments, law enforcement agencies, EMS providers, emergency management officials, and utility partners to ensure a coordinated response should impacts occur. Our personnel stand ready to respond to emergencies throughout this event and will continue working alongside our county partners to help keep our communities safe.

We encourage all residents to stay informed through trusted weather sources and local emergency management updates as conditions may change rapidly.

We will continue to provide updates as additional information becomes available.

🚗 Remember: Never drive through flooded roadways. Water depth is often difficult to determine, and conditions can change rapidly. Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

Stay Alert. Stay Prepared. Stay Safe.

Wrens Fire Rescue is proud to announce the successful completion of a project funded through the Georgia Forestry Commission’s 50/50 Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant, which was awarded to our department on January 30, 2026.
Through this grant program, Wrens Fire Rescue was able to purchase and install a new high-pressure fire pump on Squad 5, our brush and wildland firefighting vehicle. The replacement was necessary after the original pump suffered a mechanical failure, placing the apparatus out of service for brush fire operations.

This new pump has returned Squad 5 to full operational status and significantly enhances our ability to protect our community from grass, brush, and wildland fires. The pump was specifically selected for its high-pressure capabilities and its ability to simultaneously operate multiple booster lines and forestry hose lines, allowing firefighters to attack fires more effectively and efficiently in challenging environments.

Squad 5 is designed to access remote and hard-to-reach areas where larger fire apparatus cannot safely operate, making it a critical resource during wildland fire incidents throughout our response area.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Georgia Forestry Commission for providing this valuable funding opportunity and for their continued support of volunteer and combination fire departments across Georgia. Their partnership helps ensure local departments have the equipment necessary to protect lives, property, and natural resources.
We would also like to thank Moose Fire Pump Services for their expertise and assistance in helping us select and purchase the pump that best meets the operational needs of Wrens Fire Rescue.

Thank you to the City Manager, Mayor, City Council and everyone who continues to support the mission of Wrens Fire Rescue. Together, we are building a stronger and more capable department for the citizens we proudly serve.

Wrens Fire Rescue would like to commend everyone involved with the structure fire response in Edge Hill on Friday night.

Upon request for mutual aid, Wrens Fire Rescue responded with Engine 5 and Tanker 5. Wrens Fire Rescue was proud to respond alongside neighboring agencies to assist with fire suppression efforts and provide support during a challenging incident. During the water shuttle operation between multiple units from the scene to Gibson, more than 20,000 gallons of water was transported to the fireground to sustain suppression efforts. Calls such as these are a reminder of the importance of strong partnerships, coordinated response, and the dedication of volunteer and career personnel who answer the call at all hours.

We are honored to stand beside Glascock County Fire Department, Avera Fire & Rescue, Stapleton Fire Department, Jefferson County Fire Department, law enforcement, EMS, EMA, and Georgia Forestry Commission in serving and protecting our communities.

Thank you to all agencies involved for your teamwork, commitment, and service.
