Crenshaw County Association of Volunteer Fire Departments

Our Association is aware of the concerns that surrounded the tax funds that we receive. The Crenshaw County Commission was looking into an issue that faced them and a way to fund it. We had a number of positive and productive conversations with them, and we believe they have come to a resolution that will not consider taking the much needed funds from the volunteer fire departments in our county. We thank the Commission for listening to us and we look forward to our continued relationship. We thank the citizens of Crenshaw County for your unwavering support of our fire departments!

Neal. W.A. has served the fire service in Luverne and Crenshaw County for 50 years.
