It is our nation’s symbol,” said Enterprise Fire Chief, Christopher Davis. “We want to make sure they are treated with respect and properly. “There’s a lot of people are unaware of what to do if they have a damaged flag and we want to make sure they have an easy way to retire that.”EFD will be accepting flags at all four of their offices.
