There is never a time when a firefighter’s line-of-duty death doesn’t feel personal. Our profession has a unique way of creating an instant bond—whether you’ve known someone for years or only just crossed paths. When tragedy strikes, it always feels like the loss of a friend or family member.
Yesterday, that loss became especially close to home for us in Macon-Bibb with the passing of Firefighter Preston Fant of DeKalb County Fire Rescue. Preston’s daughter, Ginger, is engaged to Chandler Parker—the son of our own Randy Parker, who we tragically lost in the line of duty in February 2015.
The connection runs deep, and our hearts ache alongside the Fant family. The Yard Foundation has established a fund to support Firefighter Fant’s family. We encourage those who are able to consider donating as a way to honor Preston’s sacrifice and to show the Fant family the same love and strength we have always held for our Parker family. ❤️🚒🙏

Good evening brothers and sisters!!
I hope this message finds you and your families healthy and happy.
I want to address a concern we’ve been hearing more often: “I didn’t know about the event/meeting.”
Your board has been working hard to get information out to everyone. We post on Facebook, send emails, make phone calls, and even send texts. For example, tonight’s event was viewed over 250 times by members—yet only a handful shared it, and several still said they didn’t know about it.
Rest assured we are trying. Your board members are working tirelessly to deliver on the priorities you told us matter. Progress is slower than we all want, but we knew from the beginning this was a marathon, not a sprint.
But here’s the truth: we need your help. That help comes in the form of participation and physical support at events. I know every one of us has a million things pulling us in every direction. But just like a gym membership—you don’t see results by paying dues alone. You’ve got to show up and put in the work. (Trust me, I’ve been paying for a year without the gains to prove it!)
If you have suggestions on better ways to communicate, we are all ears. We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to stay involved and engaged. Also please ensure you have gone to the website www.maconbibbfirefighters.org and registered an account, if you haven't already please fill out an application and join. You will find everything that we post on the Facebook feed along the bottom of the website as well.
We are in this together. For each other.
Stay safe out there. Watch over your crews. Hug your family. And know—I love y’all!
