Veterans Paired With Support Animals

Veterans can foster a loving companion for a temporary or permanent home through Gwinnett's Paws of Service program. This initiative provides active-duty military personnel and retired U.S. veterans the opportunity to foster shelter animals for emotional support, with the possibility of adoption. The Gwinnett County Animal Welfare covers all pet food and medical expenses at no cost to the foster family. If you're interested in learning more about this rewarding program or wish to apply, please contact 770.339.3200 or email AnimalWelfare@GwinnettCounty.com.

FireFighters — LearnTheLingo-19

Firefighters wear numerous pieces of equipment that provide greater protection from blazing flames and dangerous toxins. One of our most critical pieces of equipment is the self-contained breathing apparatus, which supplies firefighters with a fixed supply of breathable air. SCBAs have several features, including a facepiece, hose and regulator, an air cylinder, and more. Each air cylinder can weigh roughly 8 to 20 pounds and provide anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes of air to the firefighter wearing it, depending on their breathing rate.
