Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week for 2-11-26, is John Furr, firefighter with the Selma fire department!
John Furr deserves to be recognized as Hometown Hero of the Month for their outstanding dedication, bravery, and service to the community. Whether responding to emergencies in the middle of the night or volunteering their time for local events, John consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty. Their calm leadership on the fireground, commitment to training, and compassion toward those in need set a powerful example for others to follow. Beyond their professional excellence, John is a true community role model—mentoring new recruits, supporting local youth programs, and always lending a helping hand wherever it’s needed. Their selflessness and unwavering commitment to protecting lives make them the definition of a hometown hero.
Thank you, John, for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do.
