[HICKMAN RESCUE SQUAD]
THE HICKMAN COUNTY RESCUE SQUAD WILL NOT BE ANSWERING EMERGENCY CALLS ANYMORE.
THE GROUP HAS ASKED THE COUNTY TO PURCHASE A TRUCK WORTH 89-THOUSAND-DOLLARS,
AND THE COUNTY CANNOT AFFORD IT. THE MEMBERS OF THE SQUAD VOTED TO STOP
ANSWERING THE CALLS, THAT GOES INTO EFFECT AT MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY. SQUAD CHIEF
JIM MOSS REPORTS THE ACTION COULD LEAD TO DISBANDING THE GROUP. THE COUNTY
FISCAL COURT DID OFFER TEN-THOUSAND-DOLLARS, BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH.
