Firefighters says in times like this it’s important to recognize citizens who risk their lives to try and save others.. “I think it is important to recognize citizens, especially when they go above and beyond and act and really help us in our job,” said Capt. Jonathan Harrison of the Jackson Fire Department. This week is national burn awareness week. The Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office is joining the American Burn Association to encourage scald and burn prevention.
