By ALISSA PAOLELLA
Staff writer
SYCAMORE - The Sycamore Volunteer Fire Department is in the early stages of considering joining with several other entities to form a fire district, similar to the Wyandot East Fire District, based in Nevada.
Sycamore Fire Chief Bryan Clouse will present council with information regarding the possible switch at the department's regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday, asking council members to let him know whether or not they would be interested in hearing more information about the switch.
A second meeting will take place March 6 if council is interested in hearing more after the meeting Monday, Clouse said.
He said he is in the process of putting together financial information from the past three years to give council members and fire and EMS personnel the pros and cons of joining a fire district.
