Polk County Georgia Fire Rescue

Congratulations to Lieutenant David Baxter on being awarded the 2025 Firefighter of the Year Award by the Cedartown Exchange Club!

David began his career with Polk County Georgia Fire Rescue in 2018 and proudly serves Station 3, Vinson Mountain, as Lieutenant. Baxter has shown outstanding dedication, courage, and commitment to protecting our community. We are grateful for his hard work and the difference he makes every day for the citizens of Polk County. Please join us in congratulating Lt. Baxter on this well-deserved honor!

Construction continues on the new Polk County Fire Rescue Station 8, which will better serve the citizens of the Esom Hill and Blooming Grove communities. The new location along Highway 278 (Piedmont Highway) provides better access and coverage. The new Station will accommodate apparatus and equipment better. The living quarters will provide 1200 SF of living space and be equipped with two bunkrooms to allow for volunteer personnel to staff the station at night. We look forward to better serving the community and citizens of Polk County from this new location.
