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.

Install Smoke Alarms to Help Protect Your Home and Family!

Deputy Jake Monk

It is with extremely heavy hearts that we share that Deputy, Jake Monk has died from injuries in an off duty traffic accident. Deputy Monk was not only a fine deputy but an equally good soldier who served his country with honor. More importantly, Jake was the father of two precious children who now will never know their father.

Please keep the family, friends and all of Walton County Sheriffs Office in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate this very sad time in our lives.

Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.

If you wish to help the family, please make your contributions to Deputies Beyond the Badge using their website. All donations will go directly to the family. https://www.deputiesbeyondthebadge.org/
