BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — A Hernando County fire department is shutting down after 40 years of service.
Now the question is, what’s going to happen to the fire trucks and equipment? One word: auction. The High Point Volunteer Fire Department will soon be history. Everything must go — except the memorial bell outside.
The department, which serves a 55-and-over community, doesn’t have enough certified volunteers anymore, so the county’s fire rescue will take over. Fire Chief Joe Curcio is sad to see it all come to an end.
