IT WAS JUST OVER A MONTH AGO that the Fulton County (Kentucky) Rescue Squad had to shut down its operations for lack of a reliable truck. Their current vehicle was judged unsafe to drive by the members.

Firegeezer covered the shutdown HERE and told of the membership resigning en masse when the town of Hickman wouldn’t assist in providing the funds for a replacement.

The rescue squad did not provide any medical or ambulance service.  The all-volunteer company responded to calls for vehicle extrication, river search and rescue, setting up helicopter landing zones and performed the town’s weather spotting.

We are happy to report that an agreement has been made by the town to pony up some funds and the volunteers are back helping their community.

WPSD Ch. 6 Paducah has the good news video report:
