🔥THE CALL HASN’T HAPPENED YET. BUT WE’RE ALREADY READY.

Every day, a minimum of 39 St. George firefighters are on duty across 8 fire stations.

Why?

Because we don't know where the next call will be—or what it's going to be.
It could be a house fire. A cardiac arrest. A wreck with someone trapped. A hazardous materials incident. A water rescue. Or several emergencies happening at the exact same time.

That's why our people, apparatus, and equipment are strategically positioned throughout our district 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

And being ready means more than having someone sitting at the fire station.

It means staffed apparatus. Trained personnel. Maintained equipment. Medical supplies. Protective gear. Fuel. Facilities. Communications. And thousands of hours of training—all in place before the call ever comes in.

Because when someone needs us, that's not the time to start getting ready.
We have to already be ready.

Last month, SGFD had the honor of hosting the second quarterly luncheon for Public Information Officers from across the parish!

These meetings are simple but important: bring the people responsible for communicating with our communities together, build relationships, and make sure we’re prepared to support one another when a multi-agency incident happens.

We may not work large incidents together every day—but when we do, we don’t want to be exchanging business cards for the first time.

It’s another way your local government and first responder agencies are working together to better serve our community.

We were joined by members of:
East Baton Rouge Parish Emergency Medical Services
Baton Rouge Fire Department
Office of Mayor-President Sid Edwards
City of St. George, La Police Dept.

Plugging in that device overnight? That's a no-no. Once it is fully charged, you've gotta give it time to breathe!
Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery. For more info: fpw.org.

We've all been there: you go to move something while it's charging, it is hot to touch and shocks you. When it does that, the answer should be pretty clear- unplug it and/or stop using it.
Stop using your device right away if the battery smells strange, is warm to the touch, makes popping noises, changes in shape or color, or if you see smoke. If it is safe, move the device away from anything that can catch fire. A damaged battery can overheat and start a fire. For more info: fpw.org. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
