Macon-Bibb County Fire Department

Today, we had the privilege of serving breakfast to the amazing children attending the United in Pink camp. Seeing so many volunteers come together with one purpose—to bring smiles, joy, and encouragement to these children—was truly heartwarming.

This camp provides a special place where kids can laugh, play, and simply be children without having to focus on the difficult journey their loved ones are facing with breast cancer. The love, support, and dedication shown by everyone involved was inspiring to witness.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be even a small part of such a meaningful program. Thank you to United in Pink, the volunteers, and everyone who helps make this camp such a blessing for these children and their families. 💗

Sometimes the job calls for more than fighting fires.

Earlier today, crews from B-1, L-10, and E-7 responded to assist with an unexpected visitor inside a local church just before a funeral service. Thankfully, firefighters were able to safely catch and remove the hawk without injury, allowing the service to continue.

Great job by our crews for handling the situation with care and professionalism. 🦅🚒

Great job by our crews working last night’s fire off Mercer University Drive.

Engine 8, Engine 12, Ladder 21, Ladder 3, and Rescue 8 did an outstanding job bringing the fire under control. Thank you for your dedication and hard work. 🚒🔥
