On the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, the Iona McGregor Fire District Honor Guard proudly placed a very special piece of equipment into service, the "Lockwood Hook".
The Lockwood Hook was developed by our own Engineer Jon Lockwood, who has served the Iona McGregor Fire District since 2007. Throughout his career, Jon has been an outstanding asset to our District and has demonstrated a lasting commitment to the fire service, his fellow firefighters, and the community we serve.
To recognize his contributions, the Iona McGregor Honor Guard chose the 25th anniversary of 9/11 to officially place Lockwood Hooks into service with the Honor Guard. These tools will now become part of our Honor Guard tradition as we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and honor the generations of firefighters who continue to carry their legacy forward.
A Lockwood Hook is a specialized, multi-purpose firefighting hand tool designed for roof operations, sounding, ventilation, and overhaul. Its purpose is to improve how firefighters perform demanding tasks on the fireground.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Leatherhead Tools for generously donating the Lockwood Hooks and to FIT Automotive for the powder coating that completed them.
For us, these hooks represent more than a firefighting tool. They represent innovation from within our own ranks, dedication to the fire service, and a commitment to honoring those who came before us.
We will never forget.

A big thank you to our newest neighbors at Seven Brew next to Station 74 for stopping by to introduce themselves and letting us be taste testers ahead of their grand opening next week! ☕️🧋We’re so excited to welcome them to the neighborhood and look forward to having them close by!
They brought us Ocean Breeze Energy, Georgia Peach Lemonade, Brunette Mocha, and Blondie Coffee, and everything was delicious! 😋

Last week, members of our Prevention Bureau and Training Division visited FSW Collegiate High School for a building walkthrough with the principal and school resource officer. This walkthrough is required by the school every three years and provides an opportunity to discuss emergency response, assess campus infrastructure, review security features, and talk through emergency procedures.
We’re happy to provide this service and spend time getting to know our local educators and public safety personnel. Building strong relationships with our schools helps us work together to keep students, staff, and our community safe! ... See MoreSee Less
