Johns Creek Fire Department Recovering
KENTUCKY...
More than $100,000 worth of repairs are nearly complete at one Pike County Volunteer Fire Department after last year's May floods nearly destroyed the building and a fire truck. However, the Johns Creek firefighters say it will still be awhile until everything is back to normal. Johns Creek Firefighters are moving things back into their building more than one year after water and mud filled the building during the Mother's Day weekend floods. One side of the building and everything in it was destroyed. The engine truck was heavily damaged. However, the department has continued operating. The building renovations were finished this week and the engine truck is repaired. It all cost the department nearly 150-thousand dollars. FEMA provided 16-thousand and firefighters raised the rest. The renovation did bring one change. FEMA bought flood walls for the department to prevent future flooding.
