Just before 1:00 a.m. this morning we were dispatched for a report of a w**d trimmer battery having exploded inside a home. Upon arrival we had heavy smoke showing from the residence. We put out the call for additional manpower and want to thank Pelahatchie Fire, Puckett Fire, Evergreen Fire, Rankin EOC 5, Lake Harbor Fire, Rankin SO, and Pafford Ambulance service for their assistance.

Volunteer firefighters respond to emergencies at all hours, train year-round, and sacrifice time with their families to help others when they're needed most.

To every volunteer firefighter across the country: thank you for your courage, your commitment, and everything you do to keep your communities safe.

It’s been a long time coming, but we finally have our brush truck in service. Proceeds from the last fish fry helped pay for the skid unit. Thank you for your support that enables us to outfit this truck to add another piece of equipment to help us better serve and protect our community.
