Almost two weeks after tornadoes ravaged through the Chattahoochee Valley, first responders are still working to clean up. What most people don’t know is, many volunteer fire departments worked for hours on end without any sort of compensation to help their community. The Ellerslie volunteer firefighters are worn out mentally and physically after working hard in their community for the past week and a half. They said they do it because it’s what’s right. “Golly it’s terrible.” That’s Skip Wyatt’s reaction when talking about the damage tornadoes did in Ellerslie. Wyatt is the chief of the Ellerslie Volunteer Fire Department. He said his 20-person crew is on-call at all times.
