FEMA Denies Hornersville MO Fire Apparatus Grant

Hornersville (MO) Mayor William Foresy has informed the city council that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has denied a grant for a fire engine.

The city council then voted to ask Fire Chief John Mallott of the Kennett Fire Department for his assistance in pursuing another grant for the purchase of the truck. Previously, the Kennett Fire Department loaned the city one of its older trucks until the city could obtain another one of its own.

The loaner truck from Kennett has had the pump tested.
