The Billings County Rural Fire Protection District reported that the Arnie & Georgie Foundation awarded $50,000 and that an additional up-to-$50,000 match is available if the district secures matching funds by Dec. 10. The board noted that recent donations totaling $1,600 could be used toward the required match and encouraged soliciting other local donations.
