Fayette County has appointed three members to new terms on the West Georgia EMS Council. The Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 on Feb. 13 for Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Hill to fill an unexpired vacant seat (previously held by Tom Bartlett) that will expire on June 30, 2021.

Two candidates from Peachtree City’s fire/rescue department, Assistant Chief Kevin Baggett and Operations Officer Chad Matheny, were reappointed to new terms on the council that will end on June 30, 2022.
