🚒 DFD Responds to Smoke at Local Business 🚒

At approximately 9:45 this morning, the Dyersburg Fire Department was dispatched to Kroger on Lake Road following reports of smoke filling the business.

Thankfully, firefighters determined there was no active fire. Although the exact cause of the smoke remains undetermined, what initially appeared to be a potentially serious situation turned out to be a much less serious incident.

🚨 We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone: PLEASE don't hesitate to call us!

If you ever see smoke, smell something unusual, or suspect something just isn't right, call the fire department! Never second-guess yourself or worry that you might be calling for something minor.

We would much rather respond and find out everything is okay than have someone hesitate to call when there could be a real emergency.

Remember, it's ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry! ❤️

Your safety is our priority, and protecting our community is why we're here! 🚒❤️

Dyersburg Fire Department — Proudly Serving Our Community!

🚒❤️ Community Helper Day at Dyersburg Primary School! ❤️🚒

A big THANK YOU to Dyersburg Primary School for inviting the Dyersburg Fire Department to be part of Community Helper Day!

Firefighter Cox and Firefighter Carson had such a great time visiting with the kiddos, answering their questions, and showing them around the fire truck! 🚒👨‍🚒 The kids got an up-close look at some of the tools and equipment carried on the truck and learned how they are used to help keep our community safe.

Fire Chief Brett Sipes also enjoyed being there and watching his firefighters in action as they shared their knowledge and interacted with the kids. It was also great hanging out with the City of Dyersburg Mayor John Holden, who was there taking part in the Community Helper Day festivities as well!

The Dyersburg Fire Department always appreciates opportunities to get out into the community and spend time with our youngest citizens!

Thank you again, Dyersburg Primary School, for having our department and allowing us to share a little about what we do! ❤️🚒

🚒🔥 A Fun Afternoon of Learning at the Fire Station! 🔥🚒

The Dyersburg Fire Department would like to extend a big THANK YOU to the Trail Life group from Finley Baptist Church for coming to visit our fire station!

Firefighter DeSpain and Firefighter Cox had a great time spending the afternoon with these young visitors, teaching them valuable lessons about first aid and fire safety! 🚒

One of the most important parts of their visit was showing the kids what a firefighter looks and sounds like while wearing full turnout gear and a breathing mask. We want children to understand that even though firefighters may look and sound a little scary in their gear, we are there to help them and keep them safe! ❤️

The kids also got an up-close look at our fire trucks, learned some basic first aid skills, and talked about ways to stay safe in the event of a fire.

🏠🔥 One important reminder we want every child to take home: Talk to your parents about having a family fire escape plan! Knowing how to get out safely, having two ways out when possible, and choosing a safe meeting place outside can make all the difference in an emergency.

We are always grateful for opportunities to connect with the younger members of our community and teach lessons that could one day save a life.

Thank you again to Trail Life and Finley Baptist Church for spending time with us! We enjoyed having you and hope you learned as much as we enjoyed teaching you! 🚒❤️

We love every opportunity to get out into our community, educate our youngest citizens, and help them feel comfortable around firefighters and emergency responders.
