One fire department here in the east that lost almost everything in a fire this past September is now getting money from the state to help rebuild. Tuesday Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey visited Macclesfield Rural Volunteer Fire Department to present a check for just over $24,000 from matching grant money. The fire department lost all but one of their five fire trucks. Since the September blaze fire departments in surrounding areas have been lending a fire truck so Macclesfield could continue to run at full capacity. The fire department is continuing to raise funds to build another station and awaiting their brand new fire trucks. Commissioner Causey also visited other fire departments in the area to listen to firefighters concerns and meet with officials to discuss the need for better volunteer recruitment and retention.
