Please join us in congratulating two outstanding members of the Garner Fire-Rescue family as they begin exciting new chapters in their careers.

Captain Edward "EG" Burr has accepted the position of Fire Codes Administrator with the Town of Garner Inspections Department. Throughout his career with Garner Fire-Rescue, EG has been a valued leader and trusted teammate. While we will miss his leadership and contributions on shift, we are excited to continue working alongside him in his new role, where he will continue serving our organization and the Garner community with the same professionalism, integrity, and dedication that have defined his career.

As a result of this transition, Lieutenant Samuel Smith will be promoted to Captain. Sam has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to professional development and has made valuable contributions to our organization throughout his career. We are confident he will excel in his new leadership role and continue to serve our members and the community with distinction.

Congratulations to Captain Edward "EG" Burr and Captain Samuel Smith on these well-earned career milestones. We look forward to seeing the positive impact both will continue to make in their new roles.
