Citizens Fire Academy member Joshua Smith recently made a generous donation to Athens Fire Rescue. Mr. Smith recognized the importance of firefighters staying hydrated during their demanding work and went the extra mile to provide them with a cooler full of bottled water.

Mr. Smith built a bond with the members of Athens Fire Rescue through the Academy. This bond is one of the main goals of the Citizens Fire Academy and our department. Athens Fire Rescue is grateful for the support of Mr. Smith and all of their Citizens Fire Academy members, who continue to make a difference in the community.
