Summer storms can bring more than thunder and lightning. They can also create dangerous flash flooding in minutes.
If water is covering the road, don't take the chance.
Turn Around, Don't Drown.
Stay alert, slow down, and drive safely during heavy rain.

Georgia weather can change rapidly, especially in the summer months. One thunderstorm can turn roads dangerous within minutes.
Flash flooding is one of the most common weather-related hazards during the summer months, and emergency crews across our state respond to water rescues every year involving stranded vehicles. Cobb County Fire & Emergency Services has already answered several of these calls within the last few days.
Protect yourself and your family by:
• Avoiding flooded roads and intersections
• Never driving around barricades
• Having multiple travel routes planned during severe weather or using your GPS devices
• Keeping your phone charged and weather alerts enabled
• Slowing down during heavy rain to avoid hydroplaning
When you see water covering the roadway, the safest decision is to turn around.

Today, we remember those who answered the call to serve and gave all in return.
Their sacrifice remains a lasting reminder of courage, duty, and selfless service. We honor their memory and remain forever grateful for their sacrifice.
Cobb County Fire & Emergency Services honors our fallen heroes this Memorial Day.
As we close out EMS Week, we want to highlight another one of our amazing instructors. Lt. Kleiman works diligently to improve our EMS performance in the field. We also want to spotlight our pre-hospital blood program, which can vastly improve the survivability for patients. We are grateful to Building Strong Horizons, Inc. for their continued support in securing blood products donations so we can continue our blood program.

Dear Cobb County Residents,
We are currently experiencing extreme drought conditions in the County. The annual statewide burn ban is in effect for all yard waste
materials such as leaves and limbs until September 30. Currently, the ban does not include recreational fires, bonfires, or fires for the purpose of cooking. Additional information is provided on the Cobb County Fire Marshal’s Office (CCFMO) webpage:
https://www.cobbcounty.gov/fire/fire-marshals-office/outdoor-burning. Extreme caution should be taken if you have any of the fires allowed during the drought conditions. We will continue to monitor the drought conditions and inform citizens if the burn ban
expands to include all fires.
The use of consumer fireworks does not fall under the County’s burn ban. Furthermore, the County does not have the authority to ban
the use of consumer fireworks under O.C.G.A Tile 25 Section 25-10-2.1. The State Fire Marshal can ban the use of fireworks. CCFMO will notify the residents if such ban is issued by the State Fire Marshal’s Office.
CCFMO recommends NOT using consumer fireworks and encourages all citizens to attend one professional firework shows in the
County. Below are the typical professional fireworks shows that are on or around Fourth of July:
• City of Marietta
• City of Kennesaw
• City of Powder Springs
• City of Acworth
• Mt. Paran North Church of God
• Marietta Country Club
• Governor’s Town Club
• Pine Tree Country Club
• Indian Hills Country Club
• Town Green – Legacy Park
The State Law was recently amended to include penalties for injury to another person or damage to other property from the use of
consumer fireworks.
If you see active outdoor burning that is not within the ordinance or appears out of control contact 911 to report the issue.
Thank you
Emergencies don't wait. Give blood.
