When Hurricane Milton and its accompanying tornadoes struck South Florida, Mother Nature once again left devastation in her wake—marking the second significant storm in two weeks.

In preparation, FEMA Urban Search and Rescue teams transitioned from recovery missions to life-saving efforts, prepositioning teams and equipment in southern Georgia to await the storm’s passage. Once conditions stabilized, our Utah team deployed to Florida, ready to support rescue operations.

Following assessments by local and federal teams, it was determined that early evacuations and lower storm surge levels resulted in less severe impacts in the operational area, allowing many teams to demobilize.

Over the past two weeks, we have been honored to work alongside dedicated personnel from across the U.S.—local, state, federal, and tribal—united in our mission to assist our fellow citizens. It is a privilege to serve the communities of both Tennessee and Florida during this challenging time. 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
As fire departments across North America participate in Fire Prevention Week, we want to encourage you to check your smoke detectors to ensure their functionality. Do you have smoke detectors in every room of your residence? Are they working? Are they expired?

According to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), roughly 3 out of every 5 fire fatalities occur in homes without, or not functioning, smoke detectors. 

It’s important to install, frequently check batteries, and replace detectors as they expire. 

Let’s all take a measured effort to give our families better opportunity to escape a fire early, check your smoke detectors!
