The Nolensville Fire Marshal’s Office recently had the privilege of hosting a regional training event in partnership with the International Firestop Council (IFC). This valuable training brought together participants from five different fire departments, fostering collaboration and enhancing knowledge across our region.

The session focused on firestop systems, code compliance, and best practices for protecting life and property through effective fire containment. Opportunities like this strengthen interagency relationships while ensuring our personnel remain equipped with the latest industry standards and techniques.

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We are forever grateful for their courage, their service, and their unwavering dedication to our country.

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body, it affects the mind, spirit, family, and community. This week for Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month, we focus on behavioral health, support systems, and resources for firefighters and families navigating a cancer diagnosis.

Whether it’s coping strategies, communication tools, or finding support networks, it’s important to know help is available and you don’t have to go through it alone.

Let’s support one another through every challenge.

This week for Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month, we're highlighting lifestyle and wellness strategies that help strengthen firefighters defense against cancer. Nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management are more than wellness goals, they’re protective measures that support long, healthy careers.

Small changes like anti-inflammatory eating, prioritizing rest, and staying active can make a real impact.

Today, we honor the life, vision, and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We recommit to his dream by leading with kindness, seeking understanding, and building a community rooted in hope and unity.

Cold winter temperatures can put your pipes, and your sprinkler system, at risk of freezing and bursting. Here’s how to keep your home safe:

🔴 Inspect insulation around all sprinkler pipes and make sure attic pipes are properly covered, drape and secure insulation over them.
🔴 Keep garage doors closed if pipes run through unheated spaces.
🔴 Prevent frozen pipes by letting faucets drip slightly and opening cabinets to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing.

This week’s theme for Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month focuses on the importance of regular medical evaluations and cancer screenings.

Firefighters face elevated cancer risks, and knowing their baseline health, scheduling annual evaluations and screenings and speaking with a medical provider can help catch warning signs early and guide next steps.

Take time this week to schedule your check-ups and encourage your fellow firefighters to do the same.

#nolensvilletn #nolensvilletenn #nolensvillefiredepartment #nolensvillefire

This week, we are highlighting Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month by understanding the risks and exposures firefighters face every day. Firefighters are exposed to carcinogens on and off the fire ground, and these repeated exposures have made cancer the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in the fire service.

Our goal is to help our crew and the community identify where exposures happen and how to reduce the risk. Awareness is the first step toward prevention. Stay tuned for tips, best practices, and safe habits that can make a difference.

Happy New Year, Nolensville! Here’s to a 2026 full of new opportunities, growth, and countless moments to celebrate with family and friends.

Did you know exposed sprinkler pipes are at risk of freezing during cold temperatures, which can lead to costly damage? Protect your system by checking your insulation every year:

🔴 Inspect your attic: if you see orange fire sprinkler pipes, they are not properly protected.
🔴 Make sure insulation is positioned between the pipe and the unconditioned space.
🔴 For attic pipes, drape insulation over the pipe and secure it with staples.

🎄 Merry Christmas, Nolensville! 🎄

May your day be merry and bright, filled with joyful moments spent with family and friends.

Did you know a dry Christmas tree can ignite and spread flames in seconds, turning a festive moment into a dangerous emergency? Watch how fast a dry Christmas tree can become a deadly home fire hazard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nQHz8hNJ0o

Nolensville Fire & Rescue wants to remind residents to take these proactive steps:
🔴 Water live trees daily and remove them when they become dry
🔴 Keep decorations and trees away from fireplaces, heaters, and candles
🔴 Make sure smoke alarms are working on every level of your home
🔴 Practice your family’s fire escape plan so everyone knows what to do

Fire safety isn’t seasonal, it’s year-round. A little preparation today can prevent a tragedy tomorrow.

#nolensvilletenn #nolensvilletn #nolensvillefire

December is a peak month for home fires, and holiday decorations can significantly increase the risk. Christmas trees are especially dangerous when they dry out or are placed too close to heat sources. Many tree fires start from lighting or electrical equipment, while open flames such as candles add to the hazard.

To reduce your risk:
🔴 Keep live Christmas trees well-watered and away from heat sources
🔴 Inspect all holiday lights for damage before use
🔴 Use flameless candles instead of open flames
🔴 Follow proper safety guidelines when using devices with lithium-ion batteries

A few simple precautions can help keep your home and family safe this holiday season.
