Union City Fire & Emergency Services

FF/AEMT Victor Bowman and Sgt. Michael Awua proudly represented Union City Fire & Emergency Services at the Aerotropolis Hiring Fair event. Throughout the day, they had the opportunity to meet and speak with individuals interested in pursuing a career in the fire service and public safety.

From serving the community to building lifelong skills and experiences, a career in the fire service offers a unique chance to make a real difference every day.

🌫️ Noticing Hazy Skies or a Smoky Smell? Here’s What’s Going On.

It is not from any fire within Union City. The conditions are being caused by wildfires in South Georgia, with smoke being carried into our area by shifting winds.

Here’s what residents should know:
✅ There is no active local threat at this time.
✅ The haze is traveling smoke from outside our area.
✅ Please obtain a permit before you burn outdoors and follow all guidelines.
✅ Those with asthma or other breathing concerns should consider limiting outdoor activity.

Our crews are continuing to monitor the situation closely and will share updates if conditions change.

If you see visible flames or believe there is a fire in your immediate area, please call 911 right away.
