Halifax County fire departments Tuesday received checks for $10,000 — money that was appropriated in the state’s budget.
Some departments are still in the process of receiving the $10,000, state Representative Michael Wray said this morning.
The Tillery Volunteer Fire Department was awarded $5,000 in North Carolina Surplus Lines Association grant funding.
State Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey presented the $10,000 checks at the Davie Volunteer Department where he came to honor Chief David Padgett for his 50 years of service and presented the state money to Littleton, Weldon and Rheasville. In Tillery the $10,000 checks were presented to Scotland Neck, Hobgood and Enfield.
In Tillery Causey said the NCSLA informed the department its board had approved $250,000.
