GETTING A JUMP ON SPRING
Spring brings new life in nature and new enthusiasm for going and doing in warmer weather after an unusually cold winter here in the mountains. The Towns County Fire Corps is getting a jump on spring with two big benefits for the Towns County Fire Department.
Take your Mother, Wife, or Sweetheart out on Mother’s Day afternoon to the Brasstown Big Band Concert at Georgia Mountain Fair’s Anderson Music Hall. Buy your tickets now for May 9th at 3 p.m. and surprise her with a relaxing afternoon of real music.
Then on Memorial Day Weekend have a full day of fun with an early morning 5K race and a big Fire in the Mountains Chili Cook-off. Get your application in early to win those prize monies--space is limited on the square. Check out photos of booths and winners in the 2009 Chili Cook-off and come up with your own creative booth design and chili recipe.

Our
mission is to
establish an
effective
volunteer
organization
geared toward
aiding the Towns
County Fire
De
partment in
non-operational
activities in
support of first
responders, allowing them to
focus their
energies on
preparation and
response to the
most critical and
life-threatening
situations.
The services
provided are to be
in
direct correlation to
the express
needs as defined
by the Fire
Chief.
_____________________
Fire Corps
volunteers benefit
fire/EMS
departments as
well as the
community. As a
volunteer, you
give back to your
community by
helping increase
the capacity of
your local
fire/EMS
department, assist
with vital
non-emergency
operations of the
department,
and provide the
department with an
important link to
the community.
How can citizens
help? There are
many necessary
tasks that can be
performed by
community
members in the
fire and emergency
services every
day. From creating
web sites, to
maintaining
vehicles, to
conducting life
safety education
programs and
providing
administrative
help, the list is
endless - bound
only by your
imagination.
If you have an
interest in this
kind of service,
go to our
contact
page to learn more
about how you can
get involved. We
would be glad to
have you working
with us.
