The Moores Mill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department recently touched on the funding challenges it was facing as a result of an increase in applicants, but help is on the way.
With more volunteers comes the need for more vital equipment and that’s what Marshall County’s Alder Springs Volunteer Fire Department will soon be providing. They plan to donate turnouts to Moores Mill, which is a form of protective clothing for firefighters.
Moores Mill Volunteer Fire and Rescue’s Spokesperson Ethan Fitzgerald explained it’s a testament to the support the fire department community in North Alabama has for each other. “For them to go out of their way to a department that they’ve never had to run mutual aid with, to have another department take the time to think about a crew that’s not even remotely close to them, we’re very thankful for that,” Fitzgerald told News 19.
