Hometown Hero of the Week
Hometown Hero of the Week: Blake Stephens, January 8th, 2024
Our QDR Hometown Hero of the week is Blake Stephens, Firefighter with the Cleveland Fire Department.
Blake has been in the fire service, since he was old enough to be a junior at Swift Creek Fire Department. His father is a firefighter at Garner Fire Department, and his mama is an EMT for Wake County EMS, so it runs in the family. Blake is a graduate of the Fire Academy of Johnston Community College. He is now serving his community at the Cleveland Fire Department and plans to pursue his dreams of becoming a Captain and follow in his father’s footsteps. He is the perfect example of a hometown hero at the ripe age of 20!
Thank you, Blake, 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.
