A DeKalb County woman has been reunited with her Bible thanks to the hard work of the county's firefighters. On Dec. 19, 2019, Tamika Smith got in an accident on Covington Highway that required her to be transported to a nearby hospital.Her car, which had been deemed a total loss by insurance, was towed to a wrecker service in Tucker. Since she was still recovering from her injuries, Smith would not be able to get her personal items from the car.
Thankfully, fate intervened. A DeKalb County Fire Services crew was at the wrecker service to do extraction training. During the training, Captain Chuck Bray saw a Bible lying on the ceiling of the vehicle.
Retrieving it, Bray opened the book up and found Tamika Smith's name written on the front cover. Bray brought the Bible back to the station to see if he could find Smith.
