Fayette County Receives Excellence Award for Pre-Hospital Blood Transfusion Program

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 1, 2026 FAYETTE COUNTY HONORED WITH GEORGIA COUNTY EXCELLENCE AWARD FAYETTE COUNTY, GA – Fayette County was recently recognized with a 2026 Georgia County Excellence Award for its Pre-Hospital Blood Transfusion Program. Hosted jointly by the Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) and Georgia Trend magazine, the awards program honors innovative and cost-effective county programs that meet the needs of citizens while enhancing their quality of life. Fayette County was one of six 2026 County Excellence Award recipients honored during ACCG’s Annual Conference at the Savannah Convention Center in Chatham County. "Our blood administration program has been a life-changer for patients requiring trauma care and resuscitation in Fayette County. Administering blood and blood products for trauma and other medical bleeding conditions while transporting to the trauma center equates to lives saved. This is the gold standard for trauma resuscitation and medical bleeding emergencies in the pre-hospital environment, and we are proud to be on the cutting-edge of this standard. There is no better procedure for these patients outside the surgical suite." Fire Chief Jeffrey Hill, said. Executive Director Dave Wills said the award recognizes innovation. “The Georgia County Excellence Awards is an annual program that recognizes innovative spirit and inenuity of Georgia’s counties and their leaders,” Wills said. “We are grateful to our partners at Georgia Trend for their continued efforts to acknowledge the outstanding work of our local governments.” Every second matters to the Fayette County Department of Fire and Emergency Services, a shared conviction that led to the launch of the Fayette County Pre-Hospital Blood Transfusion program. The initiative delivers life-saving blood products to critically ill or injured patients before they reach the hospital. Designed to provide early intervention for individuals experiencing severe hemorrhage or traumatic shock, the program fills the gap when delays in treatment can significantly increase the risk of death. By enabling the use of balanced blood products directly in the field, this program supports the shift toward modern, evidence-based trauma. These efforts help stabilize patients sooner, improve the effectiveness of trauma care, and increase the likelihood of survival before reaching the hospital. Learn more about this award-winning project in the upcoming June issue of Georgia Trend magazine.

Rabid Raccoon Found in Fayetteville; Residents Urged to Vaccinate Pets

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 19, 2026 Rabid Raccoon Found in Fayetteville; Public Urged to Ensure Pet Vaccinations Fayetteville, GA – A rabid raccoon found on Friendship Church Road (Brooks) has tested positive for rabies, prompting local authorities to issue a public alert. The raccoon attacked dogs and was picked up on Friday, May 15. Residents are strongly advised to ensure their pets are up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations. The Fayette County ordinance, as well as Georgia State law, mandate that all dogs and cats be vaccinated against rabies annually. This measure is crucial for protecting both pets and the community from this potentially fatal disease. Fayette County Animal Control wants the public to know that while rabies is rare, it does occur in the wildlife population. Residents are encouraged to take the necessary precautions to safeguard their animals. Living harmoniously with native wildlife is generally possible. Most wild animals pose no threat and should be left undisturbed in their natural habitats. However, residents should exercise caution and contact Fayette County Animal Control if they observe an animal exhibiting signs of illness, such as disorientation, excessive drooling, or aggression. Pet owners can obtain rabies vaccinations for their animals from any licensed veterinarian. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) provides valuable information on coexisting with native wildlife. Residents are encouraged to visit the DNR website for further guidance: https://gadnr.org/ Key Points: A rabid raccoon was found on Friendship Church Road (Brooks). All dogs and cats must be vaccinated against rabies annually, as required by local and state laws. Contact Animal Control if you see a wild animal behaving strangely. Consult a veterinarian for pet rabies vaccinations. Visit the Georgia DNR website for information on living with wildlife. Contact: Fayette County Animal Control 770-631-7210
