Turnover Hits Walton Fire Department

Concerns are being raised about staffing at the Walton Volunteer Fire Department and its response times, and the tension is leading to turnover. WCHS TV reports residents, fire departments, county and state officials all gathered Monday at the fire department and the fire chief resigned on the spot. Former Walton fire chief john Kelley stepped in as interim and he’ll remain in that role until the next election in June. Others have applied to join the department.
