The Macon-Bibb County Fire Department has 14 new sergeants! On Wednesday, October 7, family members, friends, and fellow firefighters gathered at the Macon Mall to celebrate this exciting milestone in their careers.
The ceremony was a special moment for the firefighters and their loved ones. Each firefighter was pinned by a family member or loved one before officially being sworn into their new role as sergeant.
The promotions recognize the hard work, dedication, and commitment these firefighters have shown throughout their careers, as well as their readiness to take on new leadership responsibilities within the department.
“Promotions like these are a reflection of the hard work and dedication our firefighters put in every single day,” said Fire Chief Shane Edwards. “These men and women have earned this opportunity, and I know they will continue to lead by example, support their fellow firefighters, and serve our community with pride.”
