Bradley County Fire-
Rescue maintains 13 total
stations, with 64 full-time
employees and two part-time
personnel.
According to BCFR Chief
Troy Maney, the department
was able to work over 2,300
calls in 2015, some 274 of
which were structure fires.
“We ran 943 first response
calls,” Maney recently told
the Bradley County
Commission. “And I have had
people ask why we send a fire
truck to a medical call ...
well, out of those 943 calls,
515 times the fire truck got
there before EMS did.
“So it is making a differ-
ence to the people of Bradley
County and we are able to
save lives and at least get
some treatment started for
(the victims),” he said.
Bradley County Fire-
Rescue was chartered in
1958 and was the primary
fire and rescue service for
Bradley County. In the early
1970s, the Cleveland Fire
Department became an all-
career agency at which time
they were contracted to pro-
vide fire protection to Bradley
County in 1977.
The rescue service of the
Fire-Rescue runs more
than 2,300 calls in 2015
Church of God of prophecy
2015 focus was partnerships, planting and leadership development

The Church of God of Prophecy, headquartered on
Keith Street in Cleveland, had a strong year of build- ing strategic ministry partnerships and connections
among its leadership and members, planting churches around the globe, and prioritizing leader- ship development in 2015.
Bishop Sam N. Clements, the Church’s general
overseer who was selected during the 2014
International Assembly, along with the general pres- byters, Bishops David Browder, Tim Coalter,
Clayton Endecott, Ben Feliz, Clayton Martin,
Stephen Masilela, and Gabriel Vidal, helped spear- head many new efforts which opened doors and
built bridges with other Christian organizations and educational institutions, as well as developing deep-
er relationships with the Church body.
New connections via technology
The Church’s biennial International Assembly
took place in 2014 and again in 2016, so a large
scale membership meeting did not occur last year. However, the leadership took advantage of new com-
munications tools to connect leaders and members in the early part of the year.
Thousands of viewers from around the world par-
ticipated in an interactive online webcast from the
Church of God of Prophecy International Offices in
January, 2015. “Prayer Encounter,” the two-hour
event featured the Church’s international leaders
leading prayer for specific areas and needs as well as
requests that were received through email, social
media, and telephone.
“For many years, we have conducted an annual
Night of Prayer here in the Offices but we wanted to
offer our churches a chance to participate,” said
Bishop Clements. “The result was greater than what
we imagined. It was a powerful night.”
Although a definitive count of viewers couldn’t be
reached because of groups gathering in local
churches, there were a total of 1,121 connection
points made to the high-definition webcast, which
will continue to be available on demand. Some of the
countries represented include Australia, Brazil,
Czech Republic, Mexico, South Africa, Dominican
Republic, Germany, El Salvador, and India.
