We have requested the assistance of the below agencies for their TECHNICAL SUPPORT.” Sheriff Whidden continued, “we do not believe the public is in danger. Members outside the premises are NOT experiencing symptoms of any kind.; we believe that whatever has created this illness is contained within the property.”
