Capt. Chris Whitehead and Firefighter Second-Class Steven Morris are shown at the Statesboro Fire Department Friday.
The house on Lydia Lane was ablaze, and when the first Statesboro Fire Department truck arrived, Capt. Chris Whitehead and Firefighter Second-Class Steven Morris had no time to waste.
