Message from the Chief
Welcome to The Second Alarm, the Valdosta Fire Department's Monthly Newsletter. The objective of this newsletter is to communicate information to our members and the citizens we serve. Communications in any organization are pivotal to its success. Though this newsletter does not replace the day to day communication within our organization, we hope this newsletter will aid in sharing valuable information about our department to you. This is YOUR department! We continue to provide you service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. Our doors are open at the stations. Please stop in at your neighborhood station and say hi.
Congratulations to our newest Fire Academy graduates:
Firefighter Garrett Blake, Firefighter Jacob Browning, Firefighter Austin Camp, Firefighter Charity Crump, Firefighter Jeffrey Frier, Firefighter Jayme Parson
We had a great time participating in Public Safety Santa Day with the Valdosta Police Department! As fire and police vehicles arrived with lights and sirens activated, children rushed out to meet Santa and our responders, who gave them gifts! It is a meaningful way we connect with our community and an opportunity to show how much we care about the people we are honored to serve.
