Volunteer rescuers resume operations |
A volunteer rescue squad that had ceased operating in Western Kentucky has resumed taking calls after striking a deal for equipment with Fulton County.
Members of the Fulton County Rescue Squad returned to their posts Thursday night after squad members and county officials agreed to order a new truck, with the county supplying $30,000 toward its purchase.
The rest of the $65,000 cost will come from fundraisers and donations.
The squad had stopped operating May 21 in a dispute over funding for a new truck to replace two old high-mileage vehicles. |

Missing Bowling Green Elderly Woman Found |
A missing elderly woman is safe on July 1 after rescuers found her just after six this morning.
87-year old Ada Rutlege went missing last night after she wandered away from the Bowling Green Retirement Village.
Recovery workers with the Bowling Green Police Department and the Warren County Search and Rescue Department worked overnight to locate Rutlege.
"We went out there not knowing exactly where she went. When we got there, we started gathering the information and we started an urban grid search for her," says Deborah Williams with the Warren County Search and Rescue Department.
Rutlege was recovered near Fruit of the Loom.
She was safe but did complain of some ankle pain. |
