(CROTHERSVILLE) - Crothersville-Vernon Township Fire Department officials recently made progress in their efforts to come up with additional fund for operating costs.
With a present budget of $33,000, the only department in the county with less revenue is rural Grassy Fork Volunteer Fire Department $31,050. At $141,500, Brownstown Fire Department has the highest operating budget among the eight existing fire districts consisting of volunteers.
The department, which provides fire protection and emergency medical services for the residents of Crothersville and Vernon township, and motorists traveling busy Interstate 65 through the township, has been receiving its funding from town and the township property tax revenues. Vernon Township Trustee Scott Kovener manages the funds.
