Fire department to hold meeting


On Thursday, July 26, at 6 p.m., Sandlick Volunteer Fire Department will host a community forum for citizens served by the fire department. A local insurance company and local political candidates along with current elected officials will join the administration and board of Sandlick Fire Department as it discusses with citizens about who the fire department is and what it does, and some of the problems it is facing.

A few topics to be discussed are: homeowner insurance premiums (ways to lower them and what would happen if the fire department was forced to shut down), and what will happen if one county fire department is forced to shut down and the strain it will cause all fire departments. Fire department spokesmen say they will accept ideas and opinions from the community.
