The following is a breakdown of the fire response activity from Tuesday when the storm moved in through Thursday morning.Public safety officials continuously monitored call volume and weather and road conditions throughout the storm.Fire personnel assisted with staffing the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and the Fire Operations Command Center “War Room” at Fire Headquarters.Additional Engines and Ambulances were placed in service to handle increased calls for service.Though units were kept busy, there were no reports of serious injury or major structural damage.Situations where fire units became stuck by the ice and snow were easily handled and units returned to service.We are fortunate to have the support of county leaders and elected officials who make public safety a top priority.Gwinnett citizens are to be commended for heeding the advice of public safety officials and staying off the roads and preparing for the winter storm.
