firefighter with the city of Newnan for 21 years. According to Brown, all the rookies look up to Grizzard. It’s a role he relishes, Grizza rd admitted. “I try to mentor them,” he said. “I give them all the ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ of the depa r tment a nd help them get settled.” Firefighter of the Year award recipient Boone said he was surprised when Brown called out his name. B o one h a s worke d for t he New na n Fi re Depa r t ment for 20 years. “I never had a job I t r u ly enjoyed before working here,” he said. “I enjoy working with my fellow firefighters and getting to know the guys and their families.” Fellow award-winner Burgess agreed. “It’s great when we can all get together,” he said. “I enjoy working here because it is very family-oriented and the fire department is a big brotherhood.” Burgess has only worked at Newnan Fire for four years, but he made histor y for t he department last March when he graduated from the Georgia Smoke Divers program. Burgess was one of 24 firefighters f rom a rou nd t he country to graduate, he said.
But he was still surpr ised to w i n N F D’s Firefighter of the Year award. “It’s a great honor to receive this award,” Burgess said. Fourteen NFD f iref ighters received Life Saver awards for saving at least one person’s life during the year. Those recipients included: FF Ryan Brodowski, FF Chase Taylor, FF Chris Eimer, F F D u s t y C le m e nt s , FF Drew Holloway, Lt. Jamie Pike, FF David Rowe, Lt. Allen Dement, FF Dennis Boone, FF Joe Loftin, FF Kevin Parten, FF Brent Veal, FF Todd M a honey a nd F F E d Bryant. New na n Fire Chief Stephen Brown said he’s proud of his entire staff. “I like to recognize the firefighters, and it gives us all a chance to fellowship together,” he said. “It’s rare for all of us to sit down, eat and talk with each other.” Brown said 2019 looks bright for the Newnan Fire Department. They’ll receive a new fire engine, hire at least six employees and open the new fire station at 3 Farmer Commercial Park Drive located off Millard Farmer Industrial Boulevard. N F D f i re stat ion 4 should be finished by next summer.

Coach Roc Coleman gets a faceful of “pig slop” from art teacher Rebecca Watford on Friday to cap off a “Kiss the Pig” fundraiser at Jefferson Parkway Elementary School, which raised $616 toward transportation costs for upcoming field trips for second-graders. For $1 per vote, students elected administrator Anthony Rogers as the best man for the job of kissing Presley – a 200-pound potbellied pig owned by Mari Silva. Coleman, Principal Sean Dye and fifth-grade teacher Ross Perry helped celebrate students exceeding the school’s $500 fundraising goal by having trays of slop dumped over their heads as students cheered.
