Thursday was the last day at Alexander City fire station for EMT Tim Jones.

“He’s been a great employee for the fire department for these years he’s been here,” fire chief Reese McAlister said at Jones’ retirement lunch. “I don’t know how to explain how many runs he’s made; he’s made a lot more than I have. We’re going to miss him when he’s gone.”

Thursday was the last day at Alexander City fire station for Tim Jones. After nearly two decades in emergency medical services, Jones has seen “a few things that stick in your mind, and probably always will stick in your mind.”
