We are working hard to reach all ages of children and families to help understand accountability and the benefits of safety preparation. Simple talks can create great conversations.

If you know Tupelo Fire Department, you know Jesse Clock. He has been the tip of the spear for us for years, creating policies and training that personified the scripture, 'As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.'
Although he is retiring, we know he will always be a hand to help and a mentor to call on. Come join us on June 27th to celebrate his legacy—and let's see just how many stories we can tell.

With summer in full swing, many of us are heading outside to enjoy the warmer weather. But before you skip the sunscreen on an overcast day, here is a quick safety reminder: Clouds do not block the UV rays that cause sunburn. Smart devices can provide you the UV levels plan accordingly.

Don't ruin your summer with ego suntanning and end up with sunpoisioning or skin damage.

Whether you are working outside, playing sports, or just hanging out in the backyard, protect your skin every single day.
