• Fire departments still work as one (theoglethorpeecho.com) — Lexington’s volunteer fire department is one of just three remaining in the county’s original association as Oglethorpe reshapes how its 12 volunteer stations work together. Leaders describe ongoing debates over consolidation, funding, and ISO insurance ratings, while stressing that departments from Lexington to Crawford still train, respond, and plan jointly to give residents the best possible fire protection.
