Small-town volunteer fire department faces funding challenges
DREXEL, MO (KCTV) A small-town fire department is urging its community to explore alternative funding sources.
Sheryl Greene leads a team of nine volunteer firefighters in Drexel, a small town that splits the border of Cass Co. and Bates Co.
Like most rural fire volunteer units, theirs receives its funding through optional membership dues.
Greene says their current funding isn’t enough to keep up with their equipment needs. Their newest truck, for instance, was purchased in 2009.
“We’re needing to find funding to keep things updated and keep things going,” Greene said. “We need a new fire truck, a new engine, to upgrade some older trucks. They’re running but they’re dated.”
