<strong>Fire</strong> departments across the state of Georgia have generously<br />

come back to your local fire department to help with their own<br />
communities with fire safety <strong>and</strong> burn prevention programs.<br />
You will see <strong>Cherokee</strong> <strong>County</strong> firefighters hitting the streets to ask for<br />
your donation to the Give Burns the Boot Drive during the month of<br />
September. However, you can donate now to help us continue to save<br />
lives <strong>and</strong> prevent burn injuries in <strong>Cherokee</strong> <strong>County</strong>.<br />
