Sunrise Beach Adds Firefighters

 

The average age of the majority of the Sunrise Beach community is over the age of 50. Fire Chief Dennis Reilly says that makes getting volunteers quite a bit more difficult and it’s also the reason raising the taxes a few years ago to hire full-time staff was vital. He also says they’ve stuck to their promise to use the money wisely.

Chief Reilly also says that, because of the drop in their ISO rating, many people saved money after the tax increase because of a decrease in their homeowner’s insurance.
