BUNCOMBE COUNTY, N.C. — The Buncombe County Government Facebook page posted a series of heart-wrenching photos taken of the Buncombe County Public Safety Communications Center staff in the wake of Helene.
The photos show devastated workers with their heads in their hands, workers sleeping in cars or on the floor, and several warm embraces as they take emergency calls from around the county.
"We are not just strangers in another state answering your calls; we are your neighbors, friends, and family. Together, we are enduring this struggle," wrote the county. "We just want to take a moment to remind you all that we are part of this community, and we feel your pain as you feel ours."
