TIFD responded to a large fire on the north end of Tybee, E1 arrived on scene and did a quick knockdown keeping the fire to just a piece of construction equipment.

Quick reminder to please fill in any holes you dig on the beach, even a semi small hole can cause problems for the wildlife. This morning we received a call fo...r stranded turtles, lucky for these little fellas a couple on vacation noticed them and kept a eye on them till staff arrived to help them out under the supervision of our turtle expert Tammy Smith.
