Officials: County residents need to know fire districts

Wednesday, July 30, 2014

BENTON -- Knowing which fire district your home is in -- or if it is in any fire district at all -- is something worth knowing, according to Scott County commissioners.

Jamie Burger, presiding commissioner for Scott County, said during the Commission's regular meeting Tuesday that he visited with the county resident that lost a home located near Chaffee and Scott City in an unincorporated area of Scott County to a fire July 23.

"He was kind of surprised he wasn't in the fire district," Burger said. "People probably need to be aware of whether they are or not in one."
