On November 2, 2025, the Barrow County Fire Department joined Tractor Supply’s Hometown Heroes event in Winder, spending the afternoon connecting with local families and community members. Fire personnel enjoyed meeting attendees, answering questions, and sharing safety information while participating in the store’s appreciation event honoring first responders. The department expressed gratitude to Tractor Supply for inviting them and for the generous donation of a new griddle, which firefighters say will be put to good use in the stations. The event served as a strong reminder of the community support behind Barrow County’s first responders.
