Local high school students stop by Hall County Fire Services Station 7 on Tuesday afternoon with a cake in honor of Firefighter Appreciation Day. Ellie Forrester, a senior at North Hall, and KayLynn Samples, a senior at Chestatee High, have created a public relations program for the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation.

To say firefighters risk their lives every day they go to work is putting it lightly. After working with the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation, a group of Hall County students decided the best way to thank firefighters for their risk was to bake them cake, 19 cakes in fact. Students from Lanier Charter Career Academy’s Project Success, a program that prepares students with disabilities for careers in hospitality or the culinary arts, baked different-flavored cakes for the different stations in Hall County.
