Just days before next week’s one-year anniversary of the death of one of their own, DeKalb County firefighters returned to Hall County to say thank you to the local firefighters who recovered his body from Lake Lanier. DeKalb Fire Chief Darnell Fullum was joined by a large contingent of his firemen for a presentation of a plaque to Hall County Fire Chief Jeff Hood on Thursday morning. The body of Jason “Mookie” Blalock, 37, was recovered from Lake Lanier on April 28, 2016.
