Reply #7: The head commissioner of Obion County clearly states... [View All]

that NON-SUBSCRIBERS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO SERVICE AND WILL GET NONE.

The history of the S. Fulton Fire Department is that they took on all fires, subscribers or not. They have reached the point where they and the town that supports them with taxes are going broke. They have two engines($250,000 each)and much of the gear that goes with them.

The commissioners fought over a fee attached to light meters or subscriber service.

Whether some agree with the commissioners or not, S. Fulton was performing a service for which their expenses were not covered. By not opting to set up their own fire department, a real one and not just one on paper, Obion County lost the opportunity for hundreds of thousands of dollars of Federal grants as well as solve one of the big problems in Obion County.

S Fulton had already put out a fire at another location for this family who were NOT subscribers at the time. A bill was sent for the Commissioner approved amount of $500. This family has not paid this bill and has failed at both properties to join the membership service.
