Money feud halts fire service for Garfield Farms
Garfield township residents except nine farmers will lose Rock Valley fire protection after a dispute between township trustees and the Rock Valley fire department. The department halted service and returned tax money, citing unfair allocations. Trustees had redirected most of the $1500 fire fund to nearby departments, basing cuts on proximity and phone counts. Several named shareholders in the Rock Valley department remain affected until a resolution.
