Happy Juneteenth from Chatham County Fire Department.

The members of Chatham County Fire extend our deepest condolences to the men and women of Odessa Fire Rescue, as well as the family, friends, and loved ones of Lieutenant Isai Huerta.

Today, we pause to remember the Charleston 9 on the 19th anniversary of their ultimate sacrifice.

As we honor their memory, we also reaffirm our commitment to firefighter safety, training, and ensuring that every firefighter has the best opportunity to return home after every call.

Please join us in remembering:

• Captain Louis S. Mulkey
• Engineer Mark W. Kelsey
• Assistant Engineer Michael A. French
• Firefighter Melvin E. Champaign II
• Firefighter Brandon J. Thompson
• Firefighter James "Earl" Drayton

Gone, but never forgotten.

Safety Stand Down – Day 2: Intentional Training for Firefighters

Why It Matters:
Firefighters face challenging and ever-changing conditions on every call. Success in these environments depends on more than experience, it requires deliberate, focused training. Intentional training combines assessment, planning, ex*****on, recovery, and evaluation into a continuous process that enhances performance, improves safety, reduces the risk of injury, and strengthens long-term physical and mental resilience.

By training with purpose, firefighters are better prepared to meet the demands of the job and return home safely.
