Big congratulations to Bryson Croft! As a jointly enrolled student at Claxton High School and Pinewood Christian Academy, Bryson earned his national firefighter credentials through The DEN's firefighting program sponsored by Evans County Commissioners—and now he’s officially joined the ranks as a career firefighter with the Bulloch County Fire Department. Bryson started his first shift yesterday! We're proud of his dedication, hard work, and heart for service. #TheDEN #communitypartnerships
