Hometown Hero of the Week

Hometown Hero of the Week: Randy Jernigan, February 26th, 2025
Our QDR Hometown Hero of the Week is Randy Jernigan, firefighter and 911 telecommunicator from Wilson’s Mills.
Randy was nominated by his daughter Jenna who says, “My dad deserves to be the hometown hero of the week for his dedication and willingness to our county. He’s not only a firefighter, but he’s also a 911 telecommunicator and a father of three. He always thinks of others, what they need, and helps in every way possible!”
Thank you, Randy, 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.
