We would like to congratulate Engineer Garrett Rotton on being recognized today by the Exchange Club of Florence, Alabama as our Firefighter of the Year.

Garrett is a second generation firefighter and has been with our department for seven years. He is currently assigned to Station #3, C-Shift, where he brings dependability and a strong work ethic with him each shift. We appreciate the job he does in helping our department protect our citizens. Garrett’s family, and other members of the department were on hand for today’s recognition.

We would also like to congratulate Officer Noah Hinkle from the Florence Police Department, and Director of Corrections Matt Burbank from the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office on receiving their awards as well.

Thank you again to the Florence Exchange Club for recognizing these first responders and the job they do each and every day.

Christmas will be here before you know it, and last week, Station #1 personnel assisted our local Toys for Tots organization in assembling bicycles that some local children will receive as gifts this year.

We appreciate these personnel taking time to help this great cause.

As the season gets closer, our fire stations will serve as drop-off points for toys again this year. Look for more info in a few weeks!

After months of planning, design work, and securing funding, we are proud to announce the completion of our new classroom facility at the Florence Fire Training Center.

The new facility features a large classroom with seating for up to 40 students, and a smaller classroom with a capacity of 20. These new classrooms significantly increase the space available to us for conducting training and development for our personnel, as well as for hosting classes as an Alabama Fire College Regional Training Center.

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Mayor and City Council for their support of this project, and for recognizing the value it brings to our department, and the training opportunities that we are able to provide to firefighters from across the state.
