Volunteer fire department wants more grant funding
Marked Tree Fire Department wants more funding from grants By Bradley Brewer | May 10, 2021 at 6:54 PM CDT - Updated May 10 at 6:54 PM
MARKED TREE, Ark. (KAIT) - Last Fridayâs rescue of a man trapped inside of a grain silo was the second rescue in the past five years in Marked Tree.
For being a small town with just a volunteer fire department, help had to come from departments from towns like Jonesboro and West Memphis.
Only two Marked Tree Volunteer Fire Department members are trained to help rescue workers in these types of situations, and the department has none of the equipment to do the job on its own.
