Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services Donates Fire Safety House to Gilmer County Last month, Cherokee County Fire donated its old fire safety house to Gilmer County.After the merger of Cherokee County and Canton fire departments, the consolidated organization ended up with two fire safety houses one from Canton, one from Cherokee. After careful review and consideration, Cherokee County Fire & Emergency decided to keep the citys newer fire safety house and donate the countys older model. Cherokee County Fire Chief Tim Prather contacted the Gilmer County fire chief and determined that they did not have a fire safety house. Earlier this year, the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved the transfer. On behalf of the Gilmer County Board of Commissioners and Gilmer County Public Safety, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude for your generous donation of the fire safety training trailer, said Keith Kucera, director of Gilmer County Department of Public Safety. Our Fire/Life Safety team at Gilmer County has already used this wonderful gift at Ellijay Primary School, which saw over 50 first graders pass through and learn about home safety. Our entire community truly appreciates you and your staff.
