Lincoln County Manager Nita Taylor and Emergency Management Director Joe Kenmore recognized members of two volunteer county fire departments during the county commission meeting last week. The purpose of this agenda item item is to recognize the volunteer fire departments of Bonito and Arabela," Taylor said. Along with other departments, they participate in a survey of their status by the Insurance Services Office conducted by the State Fire Marshal's Office every three years. A lower number in their protective classification rating indicates a successful advance in firefighting capacity and an increased level of service to community, she said.
