In a significant milestone for the Cross Hill Fire District, a special meeting convened on January 23, 2024, at Station 2 on Watts Bridge Road. The objective was to address the current status of the Department and elect a Board of Directors. The outcome of this gathering, as outlined in a letter from Board President Lonnie E. Wilson, signifies a promising future for our community.
The elected Board members, each committed to a two-year term, bring diverse skills and dedication to their respective roles:
- Lonnie Wilson – President
- Joshua Tollison – Vice President
- Steve Alley – Secretary
- Tim Elmore – Treasurer
- Ray Rhinehart – Director
Under the leadership of Lonnie Wilson as President, the Board is poised to steer the Cross Hill Fire District towards a path of renewal and strengthened community support. The commitment to transparency and community engagement is evident in the planned schedule of monthly board meetings and an annual gathering for citizens, ensuring an open forum for questions and concerns.
The Board’s primary focus is on restoring and fortifying the fire department and its stations. Equally important is revitalizing a team of dedicated volunteers who play a crucial role in safeguarding the community. The community is encouraged to actively participate in these meetings, fostering a connection between residents and the fire department.
Wilson, as Board President, extends an invitation to residents to attend these meetings and engage with the Board directly. For any immediate questions or concerns, Lonnie can be reached at 864-871-0296.
