There are now more than 30 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Colquitt County.
Firefighters with the Moultrie Fire Department have rigged their self-contained breathing apparatus, or SCBA, to perform like paint sprayers, and Fire Chief Jeff Thibodeau said they’re using them to sanitize City Hall and the fire department.
And it’s captured the attention of other fire departments.
"We’ll see them do it too. So, what we’re doing in Moultrie is going to make south Georgia, for sure, safer all around,” said Thibodeau.
Every day after 5:00 p.m., firefighters are disinfecting high traffic areas.
"Always try to do everything we can to keep everybody safe, us and everybody that we’re around that needs help,” said Thibodeau.
Thibodeau said each fire station, engineering and utility departments have a sanitation sprayer to keep their facilities clean.
