Update for Huntington Fire Department for March

In the 2011 budget proposal, $600,000 was to be set aside for street resurfacing. At later budget meetings, a goal of $1 million was set for the paving. Recent cuts of $190,000 from both the fire and police departments will now be used to assist the paving budget which is now at $940,000. 

Before the $90,000 cut, Moore said he had found $123,000 in the department's budget to purchase new radios, three air packs, new rescue belts and a new vehicle. He said these were not immediate needs but it is what the department could afford.
