I know it does not feel like it outside.... but SPRING is approaching soon! With that being said, it's time to start thinking about keeping our TN Fallen Firefighter Memorial pristine and beautiful!

We need our TN departments to start looking at their calendars and commit to a date for clean up efforts.

Attached is the current sign up of those agencies that have committed in 2026.

Please email Amy Maxwell, TFCA Communications, if your department can help: tnfirechiefassoc@gmail.com.

Thank you.

Good morning,

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of Retired Fire Chief Charles Carter, formerly of the Millington Fire Department. Chief Carter began his distinguished firefighting career in 1972 as a reserve firefighter with the Millington Fire Department. In 1978, he became a full-time firefighter, and in 1991, he was promoted to Chief, a position he held until his retirement in 2009.

Throughout his career, Chief Carter made significant contributions to the firefighting community. He was elected President of the Shelby County Fire Chiefs Association and, in 1994, became President of the Tennessee Fire Chiefs Association. Additionally, he served multiple terms as a board member of our own association.

Please keep Chief Carter’s family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers as they prepare to lay him to rest. A link to his obituary is attached for those who would like to pay their respects.


Respectfully,
Brian Biggs
Ashland City Fire Department
President, Tennessee Fire Chiefs Association 2024-2026

View Charles Allen Carter's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.
