Update for Trivia Tuesday! In 1984 several members of the various individual fire departments in the southern portion of Stone County (Cape Fair, Reeds Spring, Aunts Creek, Kimberling City Fire and Ambulance and the industrial Fire Brigade of Silver Dollar City) got together and started discussions on how they could provide better fire protection to the citizens. The formation of the fire district was placed before the voters along with a tax proposal for the funding of the district with 15 cents per $100.00 property tax assessment. Both issues passed and in October 1986 the Southern Stone County Fire Protection District was born. Thank you for taking the time to interact with us for a little trivia fun! Stay tuned for next week! ๐

Slow. Down. On. Wet. Roads.
That vehicle was driving fast n did not make the turn. It flew across the road right in front of me n hit the embankment n then flew in the air n hit the ground n flipped. I was driving on the opposite side of the road. I stopped to call 911 n then I saw all the trucks stop to help n direct traffic. It was insane. I pray whoever was in that vehicle will be ok.
Thanks to all responders, prayers for the victims.
