(KAIR)--Disbanding one fire district, then redrawing the fire district lines to bring the disbanded district into an alternate fire district, is under the consideration of the Jefferson County Commission.

The matter was raised Monday, during the regular meeting of the Commission, with the unofficial minutes saying Kentucky Township Fire Fighter Conley Feaster addressed the Commission. He discussed the service provided by Rural Fire District #3, with Feaster telling the County leaders that over the past year or two, the district has not been responding to fires or accidents.

During his address, Feaster suggested to the Commissioners that Rural Fire District #3 be disbanded, with the County to then redraw the fire district lines to include the rural district into surrounding fire districts.

Following a question regarding the dissemination of equipment, Feaster suggested that it could possibly be divided up between surrounding districts.

At the conclusion of the discussion, the Commissioners instructed Feaster to create a map of the proposed changes, with the matter to be taken under the consideration of the County leaders.
