The city of Warner Robins is mourning the loss of a prominent figure in the community – its first fire chief.
According to the Warner Robins Fire Department, Ernest Wood died Wednesday evening.
In 2019, Wood celebrated the 60th anniversary of that milestone by taking a trip down memory lane. He visited his old fire station, which was converted to a museum showing a refurbished firetruck and firefighting tools.
