Savannah Fire Department is welcoming back one of its firefighters.
After a year-long battle with cancer, Savannah Firefighter Alex Williams is back on the fire truck.
“We’re given another chance to make our impact on the world.”
For eight years, Alex Williams has gone to work as a firefighter for the Savannah Fire Department and Garden City Fire Department.
“I loved my job before I was diagnosed," Williams said. "But going through this I love my job even more.”
Williams says it’s the brotherhood and support from his colleagues, family and people unbeknownst to him who have rallied behind him and his fight with Paraganglioma cancer.
Williams says the firefighter community immediately supported him and his family.
