Cole County Emergency Medical Services officials will purchase two new ambulances after getting approval from the Cole County Commission
EMS director Matt Lindewirth said some of the agency's ambulances have too many miles and constantly need maintenance. Cole County EMS has 12 ambulances in its fleet and the two new ones will replace two on the front lines.
The purchase from Demers comes in almost $20,000 under the budget of about $235,000 per ambulance and equipment, while a purchase from Osage Industries would have come in nearly $23,000 over budget.
A Carter County fire department says work on a new station will help lower home-owner insurance for the people they serve.
Firefighters in one southern Indiana town were forced to put out flames at their own firehouse on Monday. Thick smoke surrounded the firehouse in Deputy, Indiana. The fire left part of the roof charred and black. Officials say the fire started in the attic, but they don't have a cause yet.
It is actually a volunteer firehouse and is not continuously manned, so no one was there when the fire started.
The fire company had four trucks in that building, but they were only able to get one out.Fire crews from all over came to help, including from Jefferson, Scott and Jennings counties.
