Wellington Fire Department Wins Rural Grant for Radio
The Wellington Volunteer Fire Department received a 1348 dollar cost sharing grant from the Texas Forest Service under the Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program. Since last year the 15 million dollar program has awarded over 11.6 million for equipment and training as demand exceeds funds. The program, created by House Bill 2604, seeks to aid volunteer fire services statewide with more requests than available money. A circus event is noted for April 3, 2003, at the Wellington Show Barn with free admission for children 12 and under.
