In standard fashion, firefighters from South Fulton-GA Fire Rescue, Cobb County Fire & Emergency Services, Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services, Emergency Room physicians from Emory Emergency Medicine Residency out of Emory University and Dekalb County Fire Rescue Department as the hosting agency chose to spend this International Firefighters' Day conducting some multi-jurisdictional #trench #training. Not to be forgotten and equally as important is Construction Safety Week with a proactive approach to focus on #firefighter #safety and #preparedness.
