Pooler Engine 601 and Brush 601 Support Wednesday Wildfire Suppression Operations

Pooler, GA - C-Shift firefighters from Pooler Fire-Rescue provided mutual aid assistance Wednesday to the Bloomingdale Fire Department and the Georgia Forestry Commission to extinguish an open-area brush fire near Ted Newton Avenue.

Emergency units operated at the scene on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, after Pooler Fire-Rescue was requested to support neighboring Bloomingdale fire crews battling an outdoor fire off Ted Newton Avenue.

Working alongside Bloomingdale personnel and Georgia Forestry resources, Pooler companies deployed specialized wildland and structural apparatus to flank the fire, establish containment lines, and extinguish hot spots across the affected open terrain.

Through coordinated multi-agency suppression efforts, crews brought the fire under control and prevented it from threatening nearby properties or wooded exposures.

No injuries were reported during the operation, and Pooler units cleared the scene once containment and mop-up objectives were met.

Pooler Fire-Rescue resources responding to the mutual aid call included Engine 601, Brush 601, and Chiefs 601, 602, and 603.
