HOUSTON COUNTY – GENEVA COUNTY – HENRY COUNTY:     The men and women who volunteer have spent their weekend fighting outdoor woods fires in three counties. All through the day these departments have rolled to the woods fires.

PEOPLE – NO BURNING RIGHT NOW.

These men and women have spent their entire weekend responding to the outdoor fires. Large woods fires.

I was asked to pass this message also:   Houston County Commissioners when you question funding and purchases made by the volunteer fire agencies, you, the Commissioners make money in your job. These men and women volunteer their time, money and resources. Remember, your weekend were not spent fighting fires and your plans cancelled. The commissioners get salary, car allowance, health insurance and retirement.  No commissioners were helping fight the fires. But those not paid were working to save lives and property.

And citizens, when these agencies say they need funding, it is to save lives and property in the county. And it could be your life or property.
