Frankie Huff, president of the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association, was back before the board at a short budget work session following Monday evening’s public hearings, and this time, he came away with a $75,295 appropriation for fire and rescue. That’s the compromise amount needed to cover insurance on the members, buildings, grounds, and equipment for the county’s seven fire companies and rescue squads and the association’s training center at Amissville.
The approved allocation represents an 18 percent increase over this year’s local support but is about $10,000 less than the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association had requested.
Originally, the board had reduced that line item to $70,000. In adding $5,295 back on Monday, the supervisors acknowledged that volunteers in emergency services raise more than $350,000 every year to cover the operational budgets and capital outlay for the seven fire and rescue companies.
In return, Mr. Huff promised that the association will continue its work to standardize insurance coverage for the county’s volunteer fire and rescue companies.
