NAHUNTA — Local officials met with helping partners Thursday morning to talk about the next steps to unify in moving the county forward as the Hwy. 82 fire is primarily contained.
“This meeting (May 7 at Nahunta Methodist Church) was all about recovery,” said County Manager Joey Cason. “We’re bringing all the partners who are trying to unify all of the different faces of people who are willing to be so generous and donate time, donate funds and donate resources all into one space.
“This helps so that we have a concerted effort to basically rebuild our community. The good news is hallelujah ... we hope to be 90 percent contained by the end of today (Thursday). The red team and all the guys that are still here are trying to wrap that up and really bring it down to a compact, small area.”
