Fire Station near Eastgate Mall to Be Expanded

Union Township is expanding a fire station near Eastgate Mall for $1.3 million. The township got a $259,500 capital safety grant from the Ohio Development Services Agency to offset some of the cost of work to be done on Station No. 49 at 718 Old State Route 74.

“We are adding an additional bay for a ladder truck to service the high-rise buildings and hotels in the area,” said John McGraw, chairman of the Union Township Board of Trustees.

“The roof structure also needs to be replaced and larger bay doors need to be added.

“The roof needed to be replaced even if we weren't doing this project. Now we can combine the roof replacement with the expansion into one project,” McGraw said.

Generator Installed at Fire Station

The foundation of Rush County's future, the Rush County Community Foundation is a nonprofit public charity established in 1991 to serve donors, award grants and scholarships, and provide leadership to enrich and enhance the quality of life in Rush County, Indiana, not only today, but for our future generations.

Through the generous support of the RCCF, Rushville Township Volunteer Fire Department was able to purchase and have installed a backup generator at the fire station. This generator will allow RTVFD to become a place of shelter should there times of extended power outages in our community.

County Firefighters Protest Funding Shortfall

CHATHAM - After being denied $116,000 to outfit a special ops truck, the Pittsylvania County Fire and Rescue Association ditchedthe truck on Main Street in Chatham, directly in front of the courthouse, and left it for the county administration to deal with.

After being denied $116,000 to outfit a special ops truck, the Pittsylvania County Fire and Rescue Association ditchedthe truck on Main Street in Chatham, directly in front of the courthouse, and left it for the county administration to deal with.

The truck has never run a call because it lacks the necessary emergency equipment, even though it was bought a year ago specifically so the volunteer fire and rescue departments could do such technical rescues as water or cliff rescues.
