The post emphasized the role of local leadership in making the expansion possible. “This landmark achievement ensures that a professional crew is ready to respond at a moment's notice, day or night. This transition would not have been possible without the unwavering support and vision of our County leadership. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to County Judge Nancy Tanner and Commissioners Kelly, Schaffer, Coffee, and Coble.
