"You have to have a lot of people together to bring helicopters out here and a whole bunch of people to come out here and put it on. It takes a lot of manpower," said Tanner Tharrington. (Greg Payne, NewsChannel 12 photo)

"During Matthew, our goal here was obviously number one Greenville," said Mervin Taylor, Greenville Fire & Rescue captain. "We took care of the citizens of Greenville and once it was okay, we executed down to Lumberton as far as we went." (Greg Payne, NewsChannel 12 photo)
