Morgan County’s own Blake Stinnett delivered to opening key note address for the 2026 Georgia Fire Service Conference this morning. What I saw and heard was a truly inspiring presentation by a man deeply rooted in dedication, service and conviction. Great job buddy.

MCFR firefighters were on the scene of a fast moving grass fire along I-20 near MM104 this afternoon. Windy conditions, high temperatures and the hilly geography made for a challenging fire , but firefighters were able to get the fire under control with no damage to property and no injures. The smoke from the fire shut down traffic on the interstate for a time, so Champs was also called to assist.

Career and Volunteer Firefighters from Station 1 (Apalachee) Station 2 (Brooks Rd, Central) and Station 16 (Public Safety Center) along with a crew from Morgan County Public Works, battled high temps and humidity at a large trash fire at the transfer facility today.

No injuries to any crew members. Crews will be back out later today to ensure there are no hotspots.

Public Announcement! Please note the intersection at GA Hwy 83 (Bostwick Highway) and Sandy Creek Road is now a 4 way stop as of noon today. For the coming weeks it would be highly beneficial to use extra caution at this intersection. It may take a while for folks who regularly travel this route to become used to stopping at Sandy Creek Road. We also want to say thank you to our Public Works Director Kevin Little for working with GDOT to get this accomplished in a timely manner since the unfortunate accident that occurred on Sunday June 14th.

MCFR hosted a live fire training Saturday. Our volunteer, career and part time members joined firefighters from Barrow County Fire Department and Walton County Fire Rescue to conduct realistic training in the new Eddy-McGlauchlin-Arnold training center at Station 10.

Amazing pics are thanks to WCFR firefighter Regan Breedlove.

Plan accordingly as Main Street is repaved

This week East Coast Grading/GDOT finished milling and paving the worst spots on Main Street. We got to see how efficient and professional their work is.

On to the next phase, milling and repaving the entire length of Main Street. Remember we said there would be unconventional hours? Here’s where they start. Beginning Sunday, July 19, milling the street (removing a layer of asphalt which is recycled) will occur during evening and nighttime hours. Come daylight those milled sections will be repaved. This will continue until Main Street is repaved end-to-end.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. It will be well worth it!

Morgan County Fire Rescue wishes everybody a happy and safe July 4th. Please use caution while celebrating, but know we are here and ready to respond if needed.
