County, city to discuss fire services
Lack of response from city frustrating

Bulloch County Manager Tom Couch
With less than a week away from the expiration date of a fire services agreement between the City of Statesboro and Bulloch County, lack of response from city leaders about the issue has county officials frustrated. Currently, Statesboro firefighters respond to fires within a five mile radius outside the Statesboro city limits, but a new agreement approved by Bulloch County Commissioners during a called meeting Thursday could change that and eventually lead to the county taking responsibility for that area. Known as the “fire district,” the area is covered by the Statesboro Fire Department, with the county firefighters assisting through a mutual aid agreement.
