On Saturday, December 12th, several members of this department, and their family members showed up with tools, chainsaws, log splitters, and trailers to support a fellow firefighter. The goal was to cut up, split, and load several trees to use for heating purposes at FF Pope's residence as he is out recovering from his shoulder injury and surgery. The trees were donated by former Fire Chief Nish Willis's son. With the abundance of people who showed up that morning, the task was completed in 2 1/2 hours. Thank you all for your support as we take care of each other!

Public Safety Top Personnel Lead by Example -------------------------------------------------------------- Henry County Public Safety leaders including Emergenc...y Management Agency Director Don Ash, Police Chief Mark Amerman, Deputy Police Chief Mike Ireland and Deputy Fire Chief of Operations Rodney Wiggins were first in line this morning to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. In an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus, Henry County public safety and first responders are encouraged to receive the vaccine. Amerman said he is leading by example and showing his officers that the vaccine shot is safe to get. I think it is important that I start and lead by example for the men and women of the Henry County Police Department, said Amerman. I think that it is important for everyone who can possibly get vaccinated to do so, so we can beat this virus and get back to normal. Several members of Henry County's public safety departments participated in today's event.
