    After hearing stories of other department pay before spray. I would have concerns about any subscription based fire department. I understand they need to be funded but I am not sure that is the right answer.

      I talked to Anderson County Mayor Terry Frank on Monday, and she said she has answered more calls on this subject than on any other topic. I have a copy of the letter sent out to Andersonville residents explaining this change, and I will post it as soon as I can. I expect the Dec. 10 hearing will be lively.
