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!
