🔥Through the Fire: Port Wentworth Celebrates Grand Opening of New Fire Station Headquarters

Port Wentworth, GA — Today marked a powerful step forward for the City of Port Wentworth as leaders, first responders, and community members gathered for the grand opening and ribbon-cutting of the city’s newest Fire Station Headquarters at 100 Anchor Park Boulevard. This state-of-the-art facility stands as the latest municipal building in Chatham County, symbolizing progress, preparedness, and pride.With remarkable professionalism, the Port Wentworth Fire Department showed up in full force—despite having responded to a warehouse fire just hours before in the early morning moonlight. Their presence at the ceremony was a testament to the dedication, discipline, and resilience that define their mission.

New firefighters were officially welcomed into service, joining a team whose spirit exudes both the sharpness of military discipline and the compassion of community care. To walk through fire for the sake of another is a sacred calling—an act of unselfish love rarely spotlighted in the media. But today, that sacrifice took center stage.

In a world where headlines are often dominated by fame and misfortune, it’s vital to pause and honor those who keep our homes, families, and neighborhoods safe. Firefighters serve daily not for applause, but because of their unshakable commitment to others. That spirit mirrors the selfless love Christ embodied—protecting, giving, and standing in the gap even when no one is watching.

Among those in attendance were:

• Mayor Gary Norton
• Thomas Barbee, Council Member, At-Large 1
• Artlise Alston-Cone, Council Member, At-Large 2
• Gabrielle Nelson, Mayor Pro Tem, District 1
• Mark Stephens, Council Member, District 2
• Rufus Bright, Council Member, District 3
• Shawn Randerwala, Council Member, District 4
• Fire Chief Lance Moore

At The Garden of Good News, we’re proud to spotlight the work of those who quietly shape our communities. The opening of Port Wentworth’s new Fire Station Headquarters isn’t just a win for infrastructure—it’s a celebration of the people who choose courage over comfort, and service over self. May we never forget the quiet heroes who walk through the fire for us all.
