Each year, the first full week in March is observed in Tennessee as Volunteer Firefighters Week to honor and recognize volunteer firefighters for their courageous and dedicated service.
According to Tennessee State Fire Marshall Carter Lawrence, “Tennessee’s volunteer fire departments are the embodiment of the Volunteer State’s spirit as they willingly put their lives on the line for their communities for little or no compensation or recognition to protect the lives and properties of their neighbors I salute Tennessee’s volunteer firefighters this week for their work, and I believe that Tennessee’s volunteer firefighters should be honored for their sacrifices every day.”
WBRY would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the fire departments in the county for your dedication and service to our community.
