Sales tax helps area fire units, but chiefs question county decision-making

Ardmore, OK —

Carter County fire departments are much better prepared today than they were in 2006 when months of raging wildfires stretched volunteer firefighters and their equipment almost to the breaking point.

Thanks to revenue from a five-year, quarter-cent sales tax passed by the voters on July 25, 2006, firefighters are much better outfitted than they have ever been, and several departments have already received new fire trucks to replace at least a few of the battered, aging vehicles in their firehouses.
