Another Thank You for Your Service Golf Tournament is in the books! ⛳️🚒

This annual event gives our firefighters a chance to spend time together away from the station, enjoy a little friendly competition, and have some fun.

A huge thank you to our sponsors for helping make the tournament possible, and a special thank you to Chief Austin and his wife for the time and work they put into organizing the event each year.

We also had an extra reason to celebrate yesterday. It was Fire Chief’s birthday! 🎉
Happy birthday Chief Pat!
We can’t think of a better way to spend it than on the golf course with the HCFR crew.

Committed to Community ❤️

Yesterday, Fire Chief Pat Wilson and Asst. Chief Frank Robinson attended service at Stockbridge Community Church to present Pastor Jeff Daws and church members with the only other commemorative sign recognizing Georgia’s first Safe Haven Baby Box.

We are incredibly grateful to Stockbridge Community Church for their generous donation that made this resource possible in Henry County. We also thank Henry County resident Amie Anderson for her determination and advocacy in helping bring this vision to life, and Safe Haven Baby Boxes for helping provide a safe surrender option for a mother in crisis.

This journey is a powerful example of what can happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose.

Just 30 days ago, Kevin Gilham stood beside his youngest son, Mason, proudly pinning sergeant bars on his uniform with Henry County Fire Rescue.

It was a moment that carried generations of family tradition. Kevin’s father, brother, grandfather and great-grandfather all served in public safety.

Kevin spent more than 35 years doing the same, as a firefighter, EMT, police officer and SWAT officer.

Today, Kevin is in a hospital bed being treated for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

His diagnosis came after he suddenly began struggling to breathe following a vehicle extrication with fellow firefighters.

Just months earlier, his annual bloodwork had been normal.

His wife says watching the man she has loved since high school go through treatment has been heartbreaking.

She wrote about the things that matter most when time feels uncertain: Take the trip. Make the call. Sit a little longer. Hold the people you love close.

Kevin has spent his life caring for other people. Right now, his family is asking others to care for him.

Platelet donations are also needed for Kevin and other leukemia patients.

If you’re able to help, donate or share his story.

And please keep Kevin and his family close to your heart. ❤️
