Magee Fire Chief Lane Steele reminded people to unplug Christmas lights when away from home. “Just the other night, we were called to a house fire (not caused by Christmas lights) and there were Christmas presents under the tree,” stated Lane. All fires are sad and emotional, but a Christmas fire is really tough.
Simpson County Sheriff Donald O’Cain talked about the dangers of theft this time of the year. “The stealing has started and we are going to be tough on the culprits,” O’Cain said.
Clay McPherson gave the program on Human Trafficking. Clay did an excellent job on a very difficult topic. Many in the room were unaware of the “realness “ of human trafficking in our area. Clay is available for speaking engagements.
