Walton County Fire Rescue

Congratulations, Hunter!

From the classroom to the front lines! 🔥👩‍🚒

Huge congratulations to Hunter Dalbey, for successfully completing the Work-Based Learning Fire Internship! This wasn’t just a "shadowing" gig; it was a rigorous, hands-on journey through one of the most demanding programs offered.

Hunter put in the work, learning the grit it takes to serve the community and mastering the skills of a first responder. We couldn't be prouder of the dedication, discipline, and heart shown throughout this internship. Thank you to the Walton County Fire Department and WBL Coordinators for your continued support of student success.

The future looks bright (and much safer) with you in it! 🚒🚨

🚫 Annual Summer Burn Ban Begins May 1

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division’s annual summer burn ban goes into effect tomorrow for 54 counties, primarily in and around metro Atlanta.

This seasonal ban is in place each year to help protect air quality during the summer months and will remain in effect through October 1.

⚠️ What this means:
➡️ Open burning is not permitted in the affected counties during this time
➡️ The ban is separate from current wildfire-related restrictions in other parts of the state

If you live in or near metro Atlanta, be sure to check if your county is included and plan accordingly.

Thank you Regan for being an excellent role model for our students in Walton County!

Our A-Shift personnel visited Harmony Elementary School this past week. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and are proud of our working relationship with our schools.
