Madison County ARES-RACES Activated

The Madison County ARES-RACES, most of them members of The West Tennessee Amateur Radio Society (WTARS) were activated along with the Jackson Police Dept, Jackson-Madison Co. Fire Depart on Sunday night at 9pm, August 18th in response to a "lost child" incident.

The child was a 10 year old little girl that had decided to run away from home and did not wish to be found. Fortunately, thanks to the professional responders and ARES-RACES, the little girl was found hiding in the woods behind Morris Nursery (Hollywood Drive), unharmed, in about 1 1/2 hours after the call went out.

Thanks to all the WTARS-ARES-RACES volunteers that were able to respond on such short notice.
