Critical Needs: Water Storage facility
Without a new water source (water tank) this fire department will NOT be able to up thier ISO rating
The community needs to support this if the fire department’s rating improves. Your home insurance could decrease, and the State Fire Marshal’s office will provide the fire department with more funding.
