On Thursday, April 4, Georgia Arson Control along with Georgia’s Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner, Jim Beck, sponsored a Firefighter Appreciation lunch for the Valdosta Fire Department. The luncheon was held at the City Hall Annex.
According to Beck, this is the 4th year they have sponsored the Firefighter Appreciation luncheon to say, "thank you for what you do."
Recently, the Georgia Department of Insurance started a campaign called ‘Firefighter Friday’ for firefighters who exemplify leadership and service to the community. During the month of March, Chief Freddie Broome was honored by the department for his work with the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation.
