Freestone County Sheriff’s Report

Ralph Billings 911 report advises of house on fire behind Oakwood VFD, Leon County contacted so they can page out Fire Chief Nathan Smith and his guys. Hey, right here, let me tell you, those guys with Oakwood VFD are on the ball…..We never call that they’re not willing to turn out at the drop of a hat. Of course, every Fire Department in our County does exactly the same and we appreciate them all. Remember, they are all volunteers, no salary, lots of lost sleep, disrupted sleep patterns, etc. Never enough credit is given to our Volunteer Firemen for this or our adjoining counties. When you see them, tell them thanks, buy their dinner.

Fire Alarm for local bank activates…..Call the Fire Depts., get the people out, get it out before the documents go up in a blaze…… Oh, never mind, somebody just burned some popcorn in the microwave!
