[RESCUE SQUAD]
A petition is circulating in Fulton County Kentucky to get the rescue squad there back into service. It was just last month that the Fulton County Rescue Squad suspended their services because the lack of room on their current truck could not provide the proper service. The Rescue Squad asked the county for 80 thousand dollars for a new truck. The county responded by saying it would cover some of the cost, but could not completely pay the whole price. Police and other officials are currently answering the calls until something can be done otherwise.
