Greetings, My Fellow Missourians
I learned something new this week; it relates to calling 911 during an emergency. I discovered that when 911 calls go through a dispatcher, many times all types of volunteer emergency units are notified to respond, including fire departments, rescue squads and law enforcement. Please be aware that when calling 911, you may be charged a fee. According to Missouri Statute 330.302, volunteer fire protection associations may respond to any emergency within its area regardless of whether the property owner or individual is a member of or subscriber to the association. A volunteer fire department that is NOT taxpayer supported may charge 1) $100 for responding to an emergency; and 2) $500 for each hour assisting with the emergency or a proportional sum for each quarter hour.

Discover More on Route 54 is reminding the public of the 3rd annual 100-Mile Yard Sale that will be coming up on Labor Day weekend, Sept. 1-3, during daylight hours.
