In early February, the Turley Fire Department Board reached out to our community for support in gathering signatures for a petition to place Title 19 and a proposed merger with Berryhill Fire Department on the ballot. We want to express our heartfelt appreciation to the Turley community, Turley Fire & Rescue, and every volunteer who stepped forward. Our officers and firefighters put their own lives on pause to gather signatures and advocate for the future of this department, and we are grateful for their dedication.
However, the Berryhill Fire Department Board voted not to move forward with the resolution presented by Chief Hall. Because of this, the petition we circulated can no longer be used. It required Berryhill Fire Department to act as the sponsor for the Title 19 Fire District, and without their involvement, the petition is now void.
We also want to thank Chief Hall, Captain Tumleson, and the Berryhill crew for their support throughout this process. At this time, we do not have a finalized plan for what comes next, but we are exploring every option to secure funding and continue serving the Turley community. We will share updates as soon as we have them.
Sincerely,
The Turley Fire and Rescue Board
