If you should get a phone call from someone soliciting money on behalf of the Smithville, Alexandria, or DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Departments, hang up. It is a scam.
Although local residents have reported receiving such calls, the local fire chiefs say neither the Smithville, Alexandria, or DeKalb County Fire Departments are currently engaging in any such fundraising efforts.
If you should get a call, don’t send money and report the call to the police departments or to the sheriff’s office.
