Uniontown has notified its entire paid fire department that all six members and the chief will be out of jobs by the end of the year, with volunteers to take their place.
Aug. 25--JACKSONVILLE -- Cherokee County volunteer fire departments will now charge fees for hazardous material incidents or motor vehicle accidents based on what department officials feel is a reasonable amount.
County Judge Chris Davis said this change will financially help departments over the prior method, which was in place before the Monday Cherokee County Commissioners Court meeting, when commissioners made a change.
Aug. 25--WEBSTER -- The Rostraver Township commissioners may have voted to decertify the Rostraver Volunteer Fire Department No. 1, but the Webster-based department isn't going away without a fight.
The department's officers told a crowd of approximately 50 residents at an open meeting Tuesday night that they are looking for an attorney and promised to take legal action in an effort to stay in business.
Former DeKalb County Chief Communications Officer Shelia Edwards may have quit her job last month, but she isn't done getting paid by the county.
According to DeKalb County documents, CEO Burrell Ellis has approved a severance package that will pay Edwards nearly $46,000. That is more than enough money to hire a new DeKalb County police officer or firefighter.
A vital piece of firefighting equipment is back on line after Eureka city mechanics were able to replace a blown engine, saving the cash-strapped municipality hundreds of thousands of dollars.
