Our Hometown Hero of the week is Bill Johnson, a fire fighter with the Wilson Fire Department and EMS!

Bill was nominated by Myra who said: He is dedicated fire fighter, father, husband, college student, and chicken house owner. He has just completed his bachelor’s degree at NC State and is now working on his master’s with UNCW, all while working full time. He works hard for his family, his wife of 8 years and his 3 year old son, while doing school work and managing 2 large chicken house’s on his days off. When I ask him how he manages to do all he does, he is always positive with his answer. He never complains. He is always willing to help anyone who may need him. He has a heart of gold for helping his fellow man. That is why I think he should be recognized as a hometown hero.

Thank you, Bill, for your service! We’re sending you a gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do!
