Summary
Washington County commissioners unanimously voted to commit $500,000 in county funds toward buying a single 3,000‑gallon fire tanker, to be purchased in fiscal year 2028, after a presentation from the Warthen Fire Department.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on July 9 to commit $500,000 toward purchasing one 3,000‑gallon tanker for the Warthen Fire Department in fiscal year 2028.
Dwayne McDonald of the Warthen Fire Department presented the department's request and Chairman Mel Daniel asked for a motion to commit the funding. Commissioner Frank Simmons moved the item and Commissioner James Hitchcock seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
The commitment was recorded as a FY2028 allocation intent; the transcript does not specify the financing mechanism, procurement timeline, or whether the county will appropriate the full amount in a single fiscal-year budget. Further procurement steps or budget amendments were not detailed in the record.
