Marion Rural Fire Department mourns the loss of one of their own. Monday night, Amy and Freddie Dimmery, both volunteer firefighters with the Marion Rural Fire Department, were t-boned on Highway 76. Amy, didn’t make it and her husband suffered serious injuries. Chief of the Marion Rural Fire Department, Billy Wallace, was on the scene along Highway 76 Monday night and like the rest of the department, he is taking the loss to heart. “It's tough, I mean it really is, it's taking a toll on all of us. Something you don't ... you see it happen, but you don't expect it to happen to you,” he said. Chief Wallace says Freddie and Amy Dimmery were coming from another accident, and simply on their way home when Freddie's voice came across the radio.
