Cannon County has a new Emergency Management Agency Director. Justin Harris, who is a paramedic with the Cannon County Ambulance Service fills the volunteer role, after former EMA Director Faye Morse retired from the position earlier this month. A resident of the Eastside community, Harris started out as a paramedic in Cannon County in 2006 before moving on to working with the Rutherford County Special Operations Unit for 8 years. He recently rejoined the Cannon County Ambulance Service. Harris is currently working on relocating all the equipment and radios to the old Ambulance Service building on High Street. This was as a result of the County Commissioners calling for the action during their August meeting in which former director Morse had stored equipment and radios at her private residence. In addition to relocating and reacquiring all of the Emergency Management Agency’s Equipment, Harris has also been working on a new operations plan in just one week on the job.
