Belfry Designated First Fire Wise Community In Eastern Kentucky
The Belfry Volunteer Fire Department was presented with a plaque by the Kentucky Fire Wise Program and the Division of Forestry during Tuesday’s Pike County Fiscal Court Program.
Members of the department visited 300 homes within their district and made assessments on what homes were at high risk of being effected by a forest fire.
The department with the grant money was also able to purchase uniforms, an ATV, and a ATV trailer.
Belfry becomes the first Fire Wise community in Eastern Kentucky and only the 23rd in Kentucky.
