Georgia Arson Control

Great turn out at the Northeast Fire Investigators Association in Calhoun to hear Jerry Carter talk about court room preparation.

The East Central Fire Investigators had a great evidence collection class yesterday in Louisville, GA. Thank you to Doug and Henry from FAST Lab for making us better!

Today was my 10 year anniversary with GAC. Time flies when you’re having fun. Here are a few memories.

My position with Georgia Arson Control has led me to meet many amazing and wonderful people. Recently, I came in contact with a group of ladies in Houston County. They make quilts. Not to sell, but to give away to people suffering from a fire. They have been donating quilts to Houston County and other local fire departments for some time now. I have been blessed to help deliver some of their love to Fire Departments in North Georgia. Thank you to the Firehouse Quilters of Houston County! The ripples of your compassion towards fire victims has no boundaries.

The Georgia Forestry Commission has issued a Burn Ban that covers 91 counties. Current wildfire locations are showed on this map as well. Please refrain from burning outdoors. Follow all local guidance and restrictions and be extremely cautious with anything that could create a spark.

These events take days of hard work and preparation. Thank you to Valdosta Fire Department and all those who helped coordinate, prepare, and present this training.
