About the fire division

Joint training with Turner County

  • About ten firefighters in tan protective gear and breathing apparatus, most with their backs to the camera, stand on grass around a dumpster burning with bright flames and dark smoke. Light blue hoses curve across the lawn, with a rust-colored training tower built from stacked containers and bare trees behind them in low evening light. The back of one jacket reads TURNER COUNTY.
  • Two controlled fires in a grassy field in low light: a dumpster on the left and a van in the middle are both burning. Small groups of firefighters in tan protective gear hold blue hoses near each fire, with a utility pole on the left and red shipping containers and trees in the background.
  • A tilted view across a grassy field of a burning dumpster and a burning vehicle with thick dark smoke. Firefighters in tan protective gear handle blue hoses near a utility pole and in the foreground, with trees behind them.
