Less than a month after getting the blessing of the county for an assessment increase from property owners in the Fisher River Valley Fire District, Fire Service Area representatives are hoping the county can bail them out of a precarious financial situation.

While no one from the Fisher River Valley Fire Service Area was present at the Lincoln County Commissioners meeting on Nov. 1, District 1 Commissioner Brent Teske read a letter from representatives Stu Crismore and Jerry Auger.

The letter explained that the department bought a Pierce Structure fire engine in November 2021 with financing through the Montana Board of Investments INTERCAP Loan Program. At the time of the purchase the adjustable interest rate was 1.65% In February 2022, the rate was decreased to 1.55%
