In a brief update to WIZS, Vance County Commissioner Dan Brummitt stated that restructuring of the volunteer fire departments, a topic that has been much discussed and debated in recent months, is currently in a holding pattern pending test results.

“Most of the fire departments underwent testing for fire ratings, and we are waiting on the results before we proceed,” said Brummitt. “Preliminary results indicate that they all did well, and we should see some ability for insurance rates to be lowered in some parts of the county.”

Under the current fire restructuring proposal, paid part-time positions would be added to the County’s volunteer fire departments with the exception of the Vance County Fire Department, which would remain as currently structured.

“As soon as we get official test results, we anticipate starting the conversation again,” Brummitt said.

McMillen Provides Highlights From Monday’s Vance Commissioners’ Meeting

September 10, 2019/by WIZS Staff

100.1 FM / 1450 AM WIZS; Local News broadcasts M-F 8am, 12pm, 5pm

Vance County Manager Jordan McMillen provided WIZS with the following summary of the Vance County Board of Commissioners’ meeting held Monday, September 9, 2019:

We had a few notable items from the meeting last night. The board authorized and approved a contract that will move our tax office forward in allowing online listings for businesses listing their personal property. We see this not only saving the County time and money but it will also make the process easier and more modern for businesses listing their property in the early part of each year.

In addition, the board approved donating our 1995 reserve fire engine to the Hicksboro Volunteer Fire Department. That was discussed last month and approved this month following the necessary notice requirements.

We introduced our new finance director Katherine Bigelow last night as well.

The highlight of the evening included trophy presentations by the Henderson-Vance Recreation Department for several softball and baseball teams.

On Wednesday, September 11, our Technology Committee will be meeting with Open Broadband to further the conversation on areas for potentially launching free WiFi hotspots. On the evening of Monday, September 16, we will be meeting with the fire association to discuss fire district boundaries.
