Franklin County requests waiver for cost of physicals for volunteer firefighters

County commissioners have asked the health department to waive the fees it would normally charge to provide physicals for local volunteer firefighters.

County administrator Alan Pierce said new insurance rules require each volunteer fireman to get a physical.

The health Department will provide the service and would normally charge 80 dollars each.

They are willing to waive the fee as long as the county requests it.

Commissioners were happy to make the request – they said that the fire departments do a great job and the county should help them any way they can.
