Kennewick fire officials see a spike in potted plant soil fires

Kennewick fire officials say too many people are carelessly snuffing out used cigarettes in something that’s extremely flammable with no idea they are putting themselves and loved ones at risk.

Dickson County (TN) Looking to Add New Ambulance and Fire Station

Dickson County is looking to add a seventh volunteer fire and ambulance station and to be run by the county in the southern area of the County off West Iron Hill Road. "I think we need one out here, I really do," Raymond Hudgins, a resident on West Iron Hill Road, said.
While some cities and towns run their own volunteer fire departments, the county also responds to many of the fires and EMS calls throughout the county.

At this time, the closest fire and ambulance station to the southern region of the County is in the city of Dickson, and due to the growth of the city and county, county officials think it's important to have a department that can serve the area south of I-40 more specifically.

"Because of the growth in the city of Dickson and traffic issues, it's really hard to get emergency services through Dickson down to that portion of the county," Dickson County mayor Bob Rial said.

The new fire and ambulance station will have a final vote for approval on Monday, and if approved, the city plans to spend around $450,000 in excess funds from a county savings account gathered through money saved in good government spending and an excess of revenue, meaning taxpayers will not have to front the bill.
