This past Friday, Walton County Fire Rescue gathered to celebrate the retirement of Captain Herb Huff. Captain Huff retires with 26 years of service to the Department. He began his career by first becoming a Volunteer Firefighter at Station # 13 on Guthrie Road south of Loganville. He then became a full time firefighter and moved up through the ranks to reach the Captains position. He was most recently the A-Shift Captain at Station # 14 in Walker Park. Herb was a hard worker, and truly a great firefighter.

In retirement, Herb and his wife Debbie plan to go on many cruises together and enjoy more time with family.

Congratulations, Captain Herb Huff, on your retirement, and we wish you the best in your next chapter!

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! 🚒🚨

This afternoon was a special day for Walton County Fire Rescue. Today our new 2026 Sutphen SPH100 ladder truck was placed in service at Fire Station #2. Truck 2 is dedicated in memory of Lieutenant Brandon Talbird, as such the Truck is nicknamed Talbird Tower. Brandon's family was present today as we held a push-in ceremony for the apparatus. The push-in ceremony is a 19th-century fire service tradition where firefighters manually push new apparatus into the station. Originating in the 1800s, it began because horses, which pulled early steam pumpers, could not back the heavy equipment into the bays. Today, it symbolizes teamwork, tradition, and welcoming new equipment.
