Summary
Representatives of the Field Hill Volunteer Fire Department told the board their main station’s roof had been approved for replacement after an 18‑month effort; Chief Keith Sink publicly thanked county staff and the board for assisting with the funding.
Representatives of Field Hill Volunteer Fire Department told the Henry County Board of Supervisors on April 20 that the station’s main roof is in poor condition and that county-approved funding will allow replacement.
A representative who identified themself in the record said the main station is owned by Henry County and described leaks and damaged wood flooring. Fire Chief Keith Sink thanked the board and county staff for assistance securing the funds and noted the project had taken about 18 months of effort and fundraising. "We just wanna come tonight to thank all y'all and especially Daniel Wagner for helping us through this," Sink said, acknowledging county staff support.
The representatives said they will continue volunteering and providing services but indicated that county support was necessary to complete the roof work. No formal board action was taken on the item during the hearing; the chief’s remarks were framed as public comment and thanks for assistance that has been approved.
The public comment illustrated the role county capital support can play for volunteer emergency services in repairing county-owned facilities.
