On September 11, Decatur County Fire & Rescue was humbled to be honored by so many throughout our community.
Individuals, families, schools, businesses, churches and organizations showed their appreciation through meals, snacks, public recognition, prayers, encouraging words and many other thoughtful gestures. So many people did so much that we could never name everyone. Please know that every act of kindness was noticed and deeply appreciated.

WoodmenLife Bainbridge Chapter brought pizza for lunch, while Spring Creek Charter Academy recognized our personnel during one of their games and provided snacks and kind words. These were only a few examples of the tremendous support shown throughout the day.
September 11 is a day to remember the lives lost and honor all who answered the call. Being recognized by the community we serve made the day especially meaningful.

From every member of Decatur County Fire & Rescue, thank you.

🚒 🔥Training in Full Swing at Decatur County Fire & Rescue!🔥🚒

Training has been in full swing at Decatur County Fire & Rescue as our personnel continue to work toward higher levels of training and certification. We have several new personnel currently working on their NPQ Firefighter 1 certification. This training helps prepare them to safely perform essential tasks on emergency scenes. We also have several personnel working toward their NPQ Firefighter 2 certification, the next level of firefighter training. These certifications help strengthen our department and ensure our personnel are prepared to better serve the citizens of Decatur County. We would like to thank Bainbridge Public Safety for allowing us to use their facility for some of our training evolutions. We also want to give a big thank you to Rathel Auto Parts & Body Shop for allowing us to conduct additional training at their facility. Partnerships like these are extremely important to the success of our department. Working together with our community partners gives our firefighters valuable training opportunities and helps us continue providing the best possible service to the citizens of Decatur County. Thank you to everyone who continues to support Decatur County Fire & Rescue! 🚒🔥
