Hometown Hero of the Week

Hometown Hero of the Week: Brandon Crocker, January 15th, 2024

Hometown Hero of the Week: Brandon Crocker, January 15th, 2024

Our QDR Hometown Hero of the Week is Brandon Crocker, firefighter and 911 telecommunicator with Little River Volunteer Fire Department and Lenoir/Jones County 911.

Brandon is highly motivated to serve his community whether that be volunteering at Little River Volunteer Fire Department or by taking 911 calls and dispatching them at Lenoir/Jones County 911! He loves helping the community, and when the call comes in, he stops whatever he is doing and races to his truck to get to the station. His wife and family are incredibly proud of him and all that he does for our community. 

Thank you, Brandon, 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 and $50 from First Horizon Bank to thank you for all you do.
