Athens to Discuss Joint Fire Prevention Authority
Athens and Limestone County leaders plan a meeting to form a joint fire prevention authority benefiting both communities. Proposal by Board of Revenue Chair Homer McLemore notes most of the county lacks fire protection since city limits already restrict action. The plan would have the county buy equipment and the city locate it with the Athens Fire Department, also serving the Limestone County Rescue Squad.
