Juan Antonia Smith II
February 5, 2024 - June 12, 2026
It is with profound sadness that Rockdale County Fire Rescue announces the line-of-duty death of Firefighter Juan Antonia Smith II, who passed away on June 12, 2026.
Today, we honor a brave firefighter who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others. His courage, dedication, and selflessness exemplified the highest ideals of the fire service and will never be forgotten.
Though his watch has ended, his legacy will endure in the lives he touched, the community he served, and the brothers and sisters who had the privilege of serving alongside him.
Rest easy, Firefighter Smith. We have the watch from here. ❤️

CONGRATULATIONS SGT BYRD! 🥳
Sgt Kelvonte Byrd went through a 17 week long basic officer training course to further his career as a Fire Investigator, become a stronger public servant, and continue his knowledge of emergency response.
Not everyone can say, or would want to say, they have succeeded in the Fire academy AND the Police Academy!
We are so incredibly proud of him. While he was working hard everyday at the police academy, we were missing his leadership and presence.
Hooray for Sgt Byrd, the best police that never was, because he is returning home to us at Decatur Fire!
