Voters pass the Fayette County Fire Levy

One of four levies on the Fayette County ballot, the fire levy, was a hot topic during election season. The voters made their voices heard and the fire levy passed. The levy would grant the departments in the county some much needed funding. Joshua Davis, a firefighter with Fayetteville Fire Department, said this money will help keep the county’s firefighters safe. “Well, it helps fund sixteen departments in the county. We get a little bit of funding through the state, but a majority all the departments, you know, they benefit a lot from the levy. [It] keeps us in new trucks, safe trucks, [it] keeps our equipment tested, and it keeps us safe more than anything,” said Davis.

SUV crashes into Preston County home, injuring 1

One person was flown to the hospital after a vehicle crashed through the wall of a residence in Preston County overnight. According to a Facebook post by the Bruceton Brandonville Volunteer Fire Department, crews were alerted to the crash just after midnight on Monday. The department said that the home is on North Preston Highway but did not specify what community. The post said one “occupant” was flown by STAT MedEvac helicopter for treatment, but it did not specify whether it was an occupant of the home or the vehicle. Photos posted by the fire department show that a Hyundai SUV went completely through the wall of the home. Firefighters were able to safely remove the vehicle, the post said.
