The Town of Falkville really appreciates the Falkville Fire and Rescue Department and the service it provides Falkville and surrounding area. During the month of December the department received 73 calls: 50 for EMS, five for fire, 17 for motor vehicle incidents and one other.  

The continued dedication of the volunteers allows the department to respond to 100 percent of its calls.   

The Town of Falkville, in observance of National Law Enforcement Day Jan. 9, recognized local law enforcement officers as well as all who work in law enforcement everywhere. All of your sacrifices are appreciated, and you are commended on a job well done. 

In other Falkville news, special thanks goes out this week to Melinda Asherbranner Haynes for the wonderful job she did decorating the Falkville Library with book–loving cool cats.
