Smyrna

The Friends of Smyrna Library has named three retired board directors — Dr. William Marchione, Mary Ann Marchione and Ellie Wolf — as Board Emeritus members, recognizing years of service to the organization.

The Cobb County and Smyrna fire departments are collecting donations for five families at Norton Park Elementary School who lost their belongings in an apartment fire in February, with two local public safety foundations helping coordinate the effort.

Smyrna is getting out of the city-jail business — finally.

The Smyrna Fire Department responded to 8,234 incidents in 2025, with the bulk of the department’s workload tied to medical and rescue-related calls, according to its annual report.
