Who it touches

Tracked in the archive

Fire Chief John Hendrix told the council that a pump on one of Lost Creek-Nevins Fire Protection District's engines catastrophically failed during a fire earlier this year, and the district paid to repair it rather than buy a new half-million-dollar truck.

He asked the council for an additional $50,000 from the district's cumulative fire fund to cover the cost, since the repair depleted the fund.
