Happy

Mother's day!

We would not be here without our Mom's!

While it goes without saying that we would not be here without our Mother’s, each has played a different role in our lives. But when things get out of control and everyone around you is screaming – She is the quiet voice to calm you down!

Mom has put up with a lot of stuff over the years, make sure you let her know just how important she is in your life, not just this Mother’s Day, but every day!

"Thanks Mom for all of your love and support!"

Burn ban!

May 01 thru Sept 30, 2025

Don't burn anything from May 1 - September 30.

Summer air quality precautions are going back in place for north Georgians. From May 1 through September 30, the Environmental Protection Division restricts residents in 54 counties from burning yard and land clearing debris because smoke may affect ozone levels in urban areas.

“As summer outdoor recreation season begins, all Georgians can play a role in lowering the risk of wildfire by paying close attention to weather conditions and safety precautions.” said Georgia Forestry Commission Director Johnny Sabo.

Volunteers Needed!

Smoke Alarm Blitz on May 17th

We need your help!

The Fire Department is preparing for its first Smoke Alarm Blitz, and they are looking for volunteers from our county staff to lend a helping hand. This important community safety initiative will take place on Saturday, May 17th, and targets three neighborhoods in need of working smoke alarms:

District 1: Briscoe Trailer Park – 521 Mountain Creek Church Rd (approx. 50 homes)
District 2: Oak Grove MHP – 152 Cannon Farm Rd (approx. 80 homes)
District 3: Magnolia Ridge MHP – 1296 Magnolia Ridge (approx. 65 homes)

Headquarters & Informational Meeting Location:
1000 Heritage Parkway, Monroe, GA 30656
Time: Tentatively 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM

(Breakfast will be provided at WCFR Headquarters the morning of the event.)

This effort will require teams of volunteers to visit homes and install smoke alarms, with each team consisting of at least three members: an Installer, a Scribe, and a Manager. No prior experience is necessary—training will be provided before deployment and all tools will be supplied.

Each home visit is expected to take about five minutes. It’s a great opportunity to serve the community and help ensure our residents have the protection they need in case of fire.

If you’re interested in volunteering a few hours of your time, please contact our Fire Marshal, Jonathan Fuqua ([email protected].us, 770-266-1678) so he can get a list.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our county.
