Clayton County Fire & Emergency Services (CCFES) is an all-hazards department that responds not only to Fire & EMS calls, but emergencies such as hazardous materials, technical rescue, and natural disasters. CCFES provides these various types of emergency coverage to all of unincorporated Clayton County, as well as the cities of Jonesboro, Riverdale, Lake City, Lovejoy and College Park. The Department’s service area encompasses approximately 122 square miles and serves a population of nearly 300,000 residents and is operated under the direction of the Clayton County Board of Commissioners.
Lots of micromanagement. Example, having to ask for permission to pick up a call from another unit. Command does not trust the judgment of fireman enough to pick up a call in their first due without asking for permission. Morale is low. Some great fireman here, but underappreciated for sure. Admin refuses to run the department like a FD should be, runs it like a corporation. Can’t even wear a department hoodie when it’s cold out without getting in trouble for not wearing your top shirt.
