We'll Always Believe In Heroes
In the recent weeks, we have all witnessed
incredible damage and awesome power. But the greatest power we
have seen has been the extraordinary resolve, courage and dedication of the
firefighters and rescue workers that are serving our
community, fighting the wildfire. These brave men and women have
worked day and night, saving lives and homes.
On behalf of the employees, physicians, volunteers, and board of
directors at Satilla Regional Medical Center, we
thank you. Once again, you have given
us someone to look up to.
Below are
updates on the fire status.
Since the special fire link was established during the afternoon of
April 18, we have experienced over 130,500 hits to
our
website from people seeking information about the fire. This
information tool has served its purpose and will continue to be on
standby if the fires erupt again in Ware County and emergency news
broadcasts are needed to disseminate information more frequently.
