Bulloch County commissioners will review a proposal made late Thursday by Statesboro city officials regarding an agreement for fire services to areas within a five-mile radius outside the city limits. Following a great deal of discussion and controversy between city and county officials regarding the “fire district,” Statesboro City Manager Frank Parker submitted the counter-proposal to Bulloch County Manager Tom Couch Thursday — the day the existing agreement between the two governmental agencies expired. Although the existing agreement did expire at midnight Thursday, “fire services will not be interrupted,” Couch said.
